Intelligent Design, Found Dead By It's Own Scientist

Professor Micheal Behe is held up by Creationists and evangelicals as one of their top scientists. In his latest and hopefully his last book, The Edge of Evolution, he admits evolution to be true. Jerry Coyne has the scoop.

The Edge of Evolution is not an advance or a refinement of the theory of intelligent design, but a retreat from its original claims--an act of desperation designed to maintain credibility in a world of scientific progress. But it is all for nothing, because Behe's new theory remains the same old mixture of dead science and thinly disguised theology. There is no evidence for his main claim of non-random mutation, and scientists have plenty of evidence against it. His arguments against the Darwinian evolution of complex organisms are flawed and misleading. And there is not a shred of evidence supporting his claim that the goal of evolution is intelligent life. In contrast to the feast of evidence that nourishes evolutionary theory, Behe gives us an empty plate. The rest, free registration required>>> Or here for no registration>>>
