A Central Illinois Scientist Responds to the Black Box
Prior to his appearance, Behe was the subject of a large article
by the Michael Miller, religion editor of the Peoria Journal Star.
Piqued by what Behe might have to say to a receptive-but-nonscientific
audience, I attended two of the three lectures. What follows are my
responses - as a scientist - to Behe's lectures at the seminary and
his October 3 interview in the Peoria Journal Star. |
Dr.
Michael Behe, author of Darwin's Black Box, appeared recently (October
5-6) at Lincoln Christian Seminary in Lincoln, IL. Briefly, Darwin's
Black Box proposes that certain cellular structures are "irreducibly
complex" - that all parts must be functional for the structure
to work, and Behe asserts that gradual Darwinian evolution does a
poor job of explaining these features, therefore, there must be an
"intelligent designer."
