The basic structure of proteins is quite simple: they are formed by hooking together in a chain discrete subunits called amino acids. — Michael Behe Acid 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 Account 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 Creatures Copy Share Image
The strong appearance of design [in nature] allows a disarmingly simple argument: if it looks, walks and quacks like a duck, then,… — Michael Behe Absent Copy Share Image
In many biological structures proteins are simply components of larger molecular machines. — Michael Behe Components Copy Share Image
The question of how the eye works - that is, what happens when a photon of light first impinges on the retina… — Michael Behe Answered 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 Accounts 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 Accepted Copy Share Image
We are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to account for an open box. — Michael Behe Accounts 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 Complexity Copy Share Image
The trap does not work until all the parts were there. The system itself doesn't work until you fit all of them… — Michael Behe Fit 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 Able 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 Ancestry Copy Share Image
It was a shock to people of the nineteenth century when they discovered, from observations science had made, that many features of… — Michael Behe Century Copy Share Image
The conclusion of design flows naturally from the data; we should not shrink from it; we should embrace it and build on… — Michael Behe Conclusion 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 Achievement Copy Share Image
Molecular evolution is not based on scientific authority. . . . There are assertions that such evolution occurred, but absolutely none are… — Michael Behe Assertion Copy Share Image
Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted. — Michael Behe Arbitrary Copy Share Image
It was only about sixty years ago that the expansion of the universe was first observed. — Michael Behe Expansion 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 Any 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 Biology Copy Share Image
