I find the idea of common descent (that all organisms share a common ancestor) fairly convincing, and have no particular reason to… — 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
The basic structure of proteins is quite simple: they are formed by hooking together in a chain discrete subunits called amino acids. — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
In many biological structures proteins are simply components of larger molecular machines. — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
As can be seen even by this limited number of examples proteins carry out amazingly diverse functions. — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
Irreducible complexity is a problem for Darwinian evolution. Whenever we see these complex functional systems we realise that they have to be… — 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
Despite some remaining puzzles, there's no reason to doubt that Darwin had this point right, that all creatures on earth are biological… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
But sequence comparisons simply can't account for the development of complex biochemical systems any more than Darwin's comparison of simple and complex… — 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… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
In Darwin's time all of biology was a black box: not only the cell, or the eye, or digestion, or immunity, but… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
Biology has progressed tremendously due to the model that Darwin put forth. But the black boxes Darwin accepted are now being opened,… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
Although Darwin was able to persuade much of the world that a modern eye could be produced gradually from a much simpler… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
There is no publication in the scientific literature - in prestigious journals, specialty journals, or books - that describes how molecular evolution… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
Since natural selection requires a function to select, an irreducibly complex biological system, if there is such a thing, would have to… — 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… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
The result of [the] cumulative efforts to investigate the cell - to investigate life at the molecular level - is a loud,… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
For example, both humans and chimps have a broken copy of a gene that in other mammals helps make vitamin C. ...… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
Molecular evolution is not based on scientific authority. . . . There are assertions that such evolution occurred, but absolutely none are… — 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… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
As commonly understood, creationism involves belief in an earth formed only about ten thousand years ago, an interpretation of the Bible that… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
The first point one has to get straight in discussions like this, is that ID is not the opposite of evolution. Rather,… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
If you search the scientific literature on evolution, and if you focus your search on the question of how molecular machines -… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
The theory of undirected evolution is already dead, but the work of science continues. — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of… — 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
As commonly understood, creationism involves belief in an earth formed only about ten thousand years ago, an interpretation of the Bible that is still… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
I find the idea of common descent (that all organisms share a common ancestor) fairly convincing, and have no particular reason to doubt it. — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
Thus it seemed to Haeckel that such simple life could easily be produced from inanimate material. — 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… — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
![“The result of [the] cumulative efforts to investigate the cell - to investigate life at the molecular level - is a loud, clear, piercing cry of 'design!' The result is so unambiguous and so significant that it must be ranked as one of the greatest achievements in the history of science.
