to feed the tadpoles for six weeks. The time of birth is arrangedperfectly,
as well. The oesophagus of the female frog dilates during birth, like the
dilation in mammals during delivery. Once the young have emerged, the
oesophagus and the stomach both return to normal, and the female starts
feeding again. 356
The miraculous reproduction system of Rheobatrachus silus explicitly
invalidates the theory of evolution, since the whole system is irreducibly
complex. Every step has to take place fully in order for the frogs to
survive. The mother has to swallow the eggs, and has to stop feeding
completely for six weeks. The eggs have to release a hormonelike
substance to neutralize stomach acids. The addition of the extra protein-
rich yolk to the egg is another necessity. The widening of the female's
oesophagus cannot be coincidental. If all these things failed to happen in
the requisite sequence, the froglets would not survive, and the species
would face extinction.
Therefore, this system cannot have developed step-by-step, as
asserted by the theory of evolution. The species has existed with this entire
system intact since its first member came into existence. Another way of
putting it is, they were created.

Conclusion

In this section we have only examined a few examples of the concept
of irreducible complexity. In fact, most organs and systems in living things
possess the feature. On the biochemical level in particular, systems
function by the working together of a number of independent parts, and
cannot by any means be reduced to further simplicity. This fact invalidates
Darwinism, which tries to account for the marvelous features of life by
coincidental processes. Darwin said that "if it could be demonstrated that
any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by
numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely
break down." Today, modern biology has revealed countless examples of
this. One can only conclude, then, that Darwinism has "absolutely" broken
down.
