General discussion on ID, God, and evolution

The Cit+ trait is IC, and this should not be up for debate. It checks all of Behe’s boxes. But of course that can’t falsify the idea, because…well then the idea would be falsified! And we can’t have that.

So the question is, given this novel trait involving multiple interrelated components that are all required for the novel function, for which we have a documented, step by step , directly observed evolutionary history characterized at the molecular level … why doesn’t this example falsify the IC hypothesis?

The reason this example doesn’t falsify ID is because the molecular pathways leading to this trait are not complex. Why? Because they appear rapidly, ie, they are not rare.
