One of the first major books with evidence for intelligent design was [[Michael Behe]]'s "[[Darwin's Black Box]]".  Behe is a Professor of Biochemistry at Lehigh University.  He states in his book "[[Darwin's Black Box]]" <ref>http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684834936/thetalkorigin-20/</ref> that there are certain ''[[Irreducible complexity|irreducible complexities]]'' in organisms which can only be addressed by an intelligent designer.

"Molecular evolution is not based on scientific authority. There is no publication in the scientific literature—in prestigious journals, specialty journals, or book—that describes how molecular evolution of any real, complex, biochemical system either did occur or even might have occurred. There are assertions that such evolution occurred, but absolutely none are supported by pertinent experiments or calculations. Since no one knows molecular evolution by direct experience, and since there is no authority on which to base claims of knowledge, it can truly be said that—like the contention that the Eagles will win the Super Bowl this year—the assertion of Darwinian molecular evolution is merely bluster." - Michael J. Behe, [[Darwin’s Black Box]] (New York: The Free Press, 1996), p. 186<ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/ReferencesandNotes10.html#wp1033719</ref>

[[William Dembski]] in book ''No Free Lunch'', states the the following:  

"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>
