  <default-description>Michael J. Behe, a biochemist at Lehigh University, presents here a scientific argument for the existence of God. Examining the evolutionary theory of the origins of life, he can go part of the way with Darwin--he accepts the idea that species have been differentiated by the mechanism of natural selection from a common ancestor. But he thinks that the essential randomness of this process can explain evolutionary development only at the macro level, not at the micro level of his expertise. Within the biochemistry of living cells, he argues, life is &quot;irreducibly complex.&quot; This is the last black box to be opened, the end of the road for science. Faced with complexity at this level, Behe suggests that it can only be the product of &quot;intelligent design.&quot;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Michael J. Behe's <em>Darwin's Black Box</em> is meticulously crafted to produce &quot;a loud, clear, piercing cry of '<em>design</em>!' &quot;. An evolutionist under the guise of an intelligent design proponent, Behe cleverly weaves together all of ID's arguments along with its fallacies, careful to include contradi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16379266">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Shirley Tilghman referred to this work in her 2005 George Romanes lecture at Oxford University. She didn't however grapple with its specific and compelling arguments for the impotence of natural selection in accounting for the astounding 'irreducible' complexity of many biological systems.

    <body><![CDATA[Not really a &quot;biochemical challenge to evolution&quot; as the subtitle suggests. Behe's major point seems to be that no-one has yet explained the evolution of complex biochemical processes necessary to form life. Not so very long ago people were charging that the mammalian eye was too complex o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21082847">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book raises some very interesting questions about the modern Darwinian and neo-Darwinian theories of evolution.  I think Michael Behe oversteps his authority in several instances in this book by stating that just because we don't currently have an evolutionary roadmap for certain biological str...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5322642">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This biochemist challenges the simplicity of evolutionary theory by showing that the invention of the modern microscope in the 1850's debunks the basis of Darwinism.
