{{cquote|A system performing a given basic function is irreducibly complex if it includes a set of well-matched, mutually interacting, non-arbitrarily individuated parts such that each part in the set is indispensable to maintaining the system's basic, and therefore original, function. The set of these indispensable parts is known as the irreducible core of the system. <ref>William Dembski, ''No Free Lunch'',(2001), p. 285. ISBN 0742512975</ref>}}

Dr. [[Stephen C. Meyer]] argued that naturalistic explanations for the [[origin of life]] have failed and that inference to the best explanation for the origin of biological information is an intelligent cause. <ref>http://www.macrodevelopment.org/library/meyer.html</ref> In the peer reviewed biology journal [[Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington]] Dr. Meyer argues that no current materialistic [[theory of evolution]] can account for the origin of the information necessary to build novel animal forms and proposed an intelligent cause as the best explanation for the origin of biological information and the higher [[taxa]]. <ref>http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=2177</ref> The editor of the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, Dr. [[Richard Sternberg]], [[Smithsonian-Sternberg affair|came under intense scutiny and persecution for the aforementioned article]] published by Dr. Meyer. <ref>http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=2399</ref>
