NYTimes’s Kenneth Chang reports on a paper in Science, from a University of Oregon biologist, describing the step-by-step evolution of set of hormone receptors in fish that, at first glance, seems hard to explain as the result of random mutations. Chang rightly refers to the hubbub earlier in the week over a missing fish-to-landbeast link that’s not missing anymore. But this piece focuses on a different and perhaps more important aspect of evolution that creationists hold up as irreducibly complex, i.e. as a sign we all must have been intelligently (divinely) designed.
