By giving answers to a fallen world William Dembski distroys Behe's mouse trap analogy for Irreducible Complexity:  
Quote
How do you know something isn't functional? You might say: Here's a mouse trap, let's remove the hammer, OK. Now I can't squash mice but I can use that mouse trap as a door stop. You know there are other things it could be serving as. So, so, the thing is: just becuse it - you know: To say that something is not functional, that's a very strong claim. It means for all, everthing that it might be doing it can't succeed in doing it.

"[...] the type of information we find in living systems is beyond the creative means of purely material processes [...] Who or what is such an ultimate source of information? [...] from a theistic perspective, such an information source would presumably have to be God."
