The presence of a flagellum on some microscopic life is like an amusement park ride in that
For the ride:
- Some folks like to take a ride on it as proof of something inexplicable even a demonstrable miracle (They weren't killed.)
- They then dare engineers or scientists to do the same
- They say to the engineers or scientists "This is sooo scary you'll wish you never tried it!"
- When the engineers or scientists ride it they come back unexcited.
- They show the first group how physics and math are used to calculate the speed, banking of the curves and angles to prevent any real danger to the riders.
- They discuss safety factors and risk.
- The first group look blankly at the science and say "It was a miracle we weren't all killed!"
- They then turn to the next ride and say "What about this one? Its is sooo scary you'll wish you never tried it!"
For the flagellum:- Creationists like to use the flagellum as proof of something inexplicable even a demonstrable miracle (irreducible complexity)
- They then dare evolutionists to do the same.
- They say to the evolutionists "This is sooo scary you'll wish you never tried it!"
- When the evolutionists examine it they come back unexcited.
- They show the creationists how genetics and evolution are used to explain the development of the flagellum from existing components of other creatures.
- They discuss mutation and adaptation .
- The creationists look blankly at the science and say "It was a miracle, we'd rather die than admit you're right. "
- They then turn to the next organ, perhaps an eye, and say "What about this one? It is sooo scary you'll wish you never tried it!"
