But B cells are a highly evolved “binding site generating” subsystem which was not around for well over 3 billion years while proteins were binding into complexes. The B cell argument is, to me, like claiming, “Because there are now factories that manufacture car parts, we know car parts evolved.” Not convinced.

The generation of binding sites results in random sequences. The question being asked is how common protein binding sites can emerge from different DNA sequences, so why aren’t antibody binding sites a great way of finding that answer?

Behe applies his math argument to protein complex binding sites. Evolution apologists do not try to run the math on protein complex binding sites.

B-cells run the math for us. Out of a few billion random sequences we get tons of protein-protein binding sites. This demonstrates that these binding sites can’t be nearly as rare as Behe claims.
