Why are We Disagreeing with ID?

Perhaps you would like to show how things that are not designed cannot have “unselected steps” ? Are you perhaps suggesting that unintelligent processes recognise and intentionally avoid unselected steps?

But where did I say things that are undesigned cannot have unselected steps? Behe even uses chloroquine resistance, with an unselected step, as an example.

But unselected steps are indeed more difficult to get through, and the more such steps there are in a row, the exponentially more difficult it is for evolution to get through them.

This is the usual error of using an a priori probability after the fact. The probability of following a particular path after it has happened is simply not relevant.

So you cannot compute the probability of drawing a full house, once you have one in your hand? Of course you can.
