I have noticed that all the reviews of this book that are
negative or refer to it as well debunked and (every scientist already
knows this is crap). Not one can give a specific simple example of how
behe can be challenged. simply stated they have no such answer. They
can't. Because Behe is right. no matter whether you believe in
creationism or design or evolution or what ever your stance, there
simply is no well articulated answer to his argument. when someone
points one out. not with some footnote, but a real explanation for how
complexity of this order of magnitude can arise by darwinian mechanisms
then ,...hooray but i havent seen it anywhere in any review or any
analysis by some great scientist such as dawkins, wilson, dennet or any
other. Because they simply dont have a rebuttal that makes sense in
the darwinian mechanism. maybe there is some other mechanism that can
be at work. I dont claim to be a creationist but scientists ought to
look at their shortcomings with some guts, instead of just poo pooing
what they've read. come on give us a real response that can really
challenge what Behe has come up with. be brave. where are you???

You're right. Behe IS right, that when you look at certain
biochemical processes, some things don't make sense. There are some
things we don't know. There are some glaring things that science has
not yet figured out. BUT, where Behe makes his mistake is when he jumps
from "we don't know how this happens" to "it MUST BE Design." Sorry,
that's not how science works. If we threw up our hands every time we
didn't have an answer to something and said, "Oop, it must be God," we'd
never figure ANYTHING out. As I pointed out in my own review of this book, Behe does make some interesting points about certain gaps in the natural selection theory. If he had left it at that, I could have gone with him. It's when he says, "well we don't know what it is, but it LOOKS like this so it must be that," that he lost me.
