Question: The flagellum is quite literally an outboard motor that some bacteria use to swim. It is a rotary device that, like a motorboat, turns a propeller to push against liquid, moving the bacterium forward in the process. It consists of a number of parts… Like a mousetrap, the flagellum is irreducibly complex. And again like the mousetrap, its evolutionary development by “numerous, successive, slight modifications” is quite difficult to envision. In fact, if one examines the scientific literature, one quickly sees that no one has ever proposed a serious, detailed model for how the flagellum might have arisen in a Darwinian manner, let alone conducted experiments to test such a model.” What is the biggest problem with these statements?
