To paraphrase Darwin, the notion that evolution could have produced a system as intricate as the blood clotting cascade seems, we might freely confess, "absurd in the highest possible degree." This is especially true if you believe, as Behe seems to, that clotting is not possible until the entire cascade of factors...

Coagulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coagulation is a complex process by which blood forms clots. It is an important part of hemostasis (the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel), wherein a damaged blood vessel wall is covered ...

The Intrinsic Clotting Cascade ... The formation of complex between factor VIIa and tissue factor is believed to be a principal step in the overall clotting cascade. Evidence for this stems from the fact that persons with hereditary deficiencies in the components of the contact phase of the intrinsic pathway do not...

Inactive forms of clotting factors are shown in red; their activated counterparts (indicated by the subscript “a”) are in yellow. Stimulatory proteins that are not themselves enzymes are shown in blue.

This support is provided, in part, by one of the components of the outside of a platelet, called phospholipids (lipid=fat), which are required for many of the reactions in the clotting cascade.

1) Professor Doolittle argued that new laboratory work showed two components of the blood clotting cascade could be eliminated ("knocked-out") from mice and the mice got along fine without them.
