bacterial [[flagellum]] are [[irreducibly complex]]. Such machines require all of their parts to function, Behe says, and so could not have come into being through an unguided process. He considers this evidence that the flagellum must have been designed. This idea has been discredited by some members of the scientific community <ref>http://www.millerandlevine.com/km/evol/design1/article.html</ref>, although as of yet no consensus has been reached.
