Intelligent Design theorists argue that a biological system could not make a gradual transition via small successive steps
This concept has been used by astronomer [[Fred Hoyle]] and biochemistry professor [[Michael Behe]] to argue against the idea of "[[evolution through natural selection]]". Hoyle compares the probability of all the parts of a [[cell]] coming together through natural forces to the probability of a cyclone in a [[hanger]] assembling all the parts of a [[Boeing 747]] aircraft.

Behe presents several examples of organs and cells which could not have evolved through natural forces alone due to their irreducible complexity.
