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.

A biological system could not make a gradual transition via small successive steps, unless each step provided an advantage to the species.  

[[Intelligent Design]] theorists argue that a biological system could not make a gradual transition via small successive steps, unless each step provided an advantage to the species.  

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