Irreducible Complexities

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

You believe that people believe in what's cool. This is an example. I see NOTHING in your post BUT your beliefs. The question was about "the possibility for designing things that are easier to work on for motors in cars", not the existance of an Irreducible Complexity in the Universe, which, as you state, would make the question about motors absurd, since motors are made by humans.

So, in my point of view, either you admit the question was about reducibility in the mathematical sense (a simpler system performing the same tasks, like Tissot did on watches, which later made the Swatch possible), or you think the question was dumb.
You should re read my first post. I stated that I could see no connection at all between irreducible complexity and scientific discipline's including F1.
I also said that people should not use their conclusions on things like Dawkins mumblings to be fashionable and cool, not for them to construct a belief system from them.
I did not evangelize any belief structure, I simply pointed out that it is impossible for human beings to discount the existence of an over all creator of some sort, so therefore atheism cannot exist in reality. It is a statement of irrelevance and laziness.
The original poster used 'irreducible complexity' to stir up debate. If the intent was to be engineering debate he would have used 'reducible complexity', which exists everywhere in reality.

Sorry, no threads about intelligent design in this forum. Just look at the ad that Google Adsense inserted in this page:

We discriminate here: the only accepted religion around the site is called racing. Our teleology is simpler: "we build them, we break them".

So, you can freely analyze what Saint Jim Hall said, pray to the Blessed Newey or quote the Suras of Milliken for as long as you wish (for example, I'm praying right now to the Venerable Carlin, hoping I don't receive too many private messages about this decision: I think it'll work).
