As has been stated, it is a favorite argument used amongst creationists to claim that some organic systems are too complex to have evolved as such.
In other words, it is the argument of "I don't understand how it works, therefore it's wrong."
Ironically, it can be used as an argument against God, too.

Creationist: "You can't explain how an eye evolved, it's too complex to have sprung up on its own. It's irreducible complexity."
Scientist: "Of course it can, you're just incapable of understanding the concept that it takes millions of years for features to evolve in to the things we see today."
Creationist: "Nuh-uhhhh."
Scientist: "Fine, please tell me exactly how your 'God' made the eye."
Creationist: "He made it in his own image."
Scientist: "How exactly did he do it, lay out the steps for me on the precise methods used."
Creationist: "I don't know...."
Scientist: "Thus, by your own logic, you've just disproved God. Fantastic job, let me buy you a beer."

Get the Irreducible Complexity mug.Similar to a God-complex, except only douchebagary ensues. Typically an only child, and often named Brandon(although they do not have to be named such), the subject says things to impress people that are unimpressive, and when called out on such, give you an angry, confused look.
Most are also spoiled, arrogant people who do not see their faults and will not accept the fact that they have faults; thinks everyone/everything is annoying, when in reality said person is the annoying one. Most friends are facades and utter insults behind the person's back, for good reasons too.
They also do not know how to properly talk with women, and will turn down women for idiotic reasons such as bad grades, or any lack of common sense. Stay away from anyone who has this complex, for only a failed friendship and your anger will follow.

Brandon, flexing; "Hey dude, I'm flexing. Aren't my muscles impeccable?"
Friend 1: "That's really unimpressive, especially since you are flexing. Why do you exist?"
Friend 2: "Indubitably; leave my premises immediately."
Friend 1: "What a classic example of The Brandon Complex."

Get the cheerleader complex mug.A deep desire to be looked up to as an elite crime fighter but reality teaches them how criminals are far more intelligent then they and their emotional level drops from glee to anger. So a new tactic emerges to keep their dream alive by concluding "I may not be smart enough to catch the real criminals, but at least I can take it out on someone I think deserves it." Hence the hero emerges and an ill-fated regular Joe goes to prison.
Airport Security has not caught one terrorist but plenty of innocent people have been effected by Hero Complex Syndrome" by harrassing innocent people who just want to get on the plane. When their patience is exhausted from witnessing this incredible security force who hasn't caught one terrorist, they become irate, and off to jail they go. Of course this would never have happened if security did their jobs in the background leaving honost people alone.
