'''Irreducible complexity''' is the aspect of a system which prevents it from operating at all, unless all of its parts are in place and working properly.

The idea of '''irreducible complexity''' is that some systems are so complex that the removal or alteration of any part would prevent the system from functioning. Proponents of [[Intelligent Design]] claim that irreducible complexity is evidence that the system probably was designed by an intelligent agent of some sort.

For example, a car will not go without an engine. Indeed, the engine will not run without fuel and a starter motor. The designer must ensure that all parts work together to produce the intended function.
