The question of how the eye works - that is, what happens when a photon of light first impinges on the retina - simply could not be answered at that time. — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
As the number of unexplained, irreducibly complex biological systems increases, our confidence that Darwin's criterion of failure has been met skyrockets toward the maximum… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image

Proteins are the machinery of living tissue that builds the structures and carries out the chemical reactions necessary for life. — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
I believe the evidence strongly supports common descent. But the root question remains unanswered: What has caused complex systems to form? — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
In private many scientists admit that science has no explanation for the beginning of life… Darwin never imagined the exquisitely profound complexity that exists… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
The theory of undirected evolution is already dead, but the work of science continues. — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
Many people, including many important and well-respected scientists, just don't want there to be anything beyond nature. They don't want a supernatural being to… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
If you take away a rock from a pile of rocks you haven't changed much. It's still a heap of rocks - just a… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
It is often said that science must avoid any conclusions which smack of the supernatural. — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
The question is: exactly how did life get here? Was it by natural selection and random mutation or was it by something else? Everybody - even Richard Dawkins - sees design in biology. You see this design when you see co-ordinated parts coming together to perform a function - like in a hand. And so it's the appearance of design… — Michael Behe Copy Share
