(Intelligent Design) Irreducible Complexity is an Intelligent Design challenge to naturalistic evolution’s explanation of the rise of complex life forms. -- • Naturalistic evolution teaches that new organisms do not suddenly arise, but come about gradually through beneficial mutations caused by natural selection. This process takes a very, very long time. Charles Darwin stated “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down” (On the Origin of Species, Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1964, pg. 189).--- The human eye dismantles & utter breaks down Darwin's theory.

And after stating this, Darwin went on to offer a number of examples of attributes that would appear difficult to explain by successive, slight modifications and successfully explained them!

The evolution of the human eye is very well understood as is the evolution  of eyes in general. Eyes have evolved in at least four different ways, leading to somewhat different results, and the various stages in each of these progressions is not only quite clear from the fossil record, but can be traced through genetic analysis. On top of that, many of the stages towards complex eyes, developing along various routes, can actually be seen in organsims living today. Despite this, ID theorists and Creationists continue to claim the evolution of the eye to be a problem. It isn't.
