As can be seen even by this limited number of examples proteins carry out amazingly diverse functions. — Michael Behe Copy Share Image
In order to say that some function is understood, every relevant step in the process must be elucidated. — 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 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
By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the… — 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
