Claim CB401:
Instincts are too complex to have evolved. Scientists have no way of explaining complex instincts, such as migrations and nest building.

CreationWiki response:
As worded this claim is problematic, but then again Talk Origins cites the worst possible source. It is agreed that some instincts are simple and basic enough that once you have a living cell they are probably inevitable, but more complex instincts run afoul of Information theory and Statistical Thermodynamics.
