The scientist who has been dubbed the “Father of Intelligent Design” and author of the groundbreaking book Darwin’s Black Box contends that recent scientific discoveries further disprove Darwinism and strengthen the case for an intelligent creator.
In his controversial best-seller Darwin’s Black Box, biochemist Michael Behe challenged Darwin’s theory of evolution, arguing that science itself has proven that intelligent design is a better explanation for the origin of life. In Darwin Devolves, Behe advances his argument, presenting new research that offers a startling reconsideration of how Darwin’s mechanism works, weakening the theory’s validity even more.
A system of natural selection acting on random mutation, evolution can help make something look and act differently. But evolution never creates something organically. Behe contends that Darwinism actually works by a process of devolution - damaging cells in DNA in order to create something new at the lowest biological levels. This is important, he makes clear, because it shows the Darwinian process cannot explain the creation of life itself. “A process that so easily tears down sophisticated machinery is not one which will build complex, functional systems,” he writes.
In addition to disputing the methodology of Darwinism and how it conflicts with the concept of creation, Behe reveals that what makes intelligent design unique - and right - is that it acknowledges causation. Evolution proposes that organisms living today are descended with modification from organisms that lived in the distant past. But intelligent design goes a step further, asking: What caused such astounding changes to take place? What is the reason or mechanism for evolution? For Behe, this is what makes intelligent design so important.

very enlightening.
question everything... it's a travesty that challenges to evolution cannot be even mentioned in public schools... censorship?

He is Catholic but still accepts the story of Evolution.
He just points out weaknesses from his point of view in his field
Always underrated

Behe is a biology professor with a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania, so he is speaks from his field when he points out serious problems in the view that Darwin's theory of evolution can explain the origins of the life we see today above the level of species and genera. He proposes the alternative view that life was in fact intelligently designed, and handles objections with surprising confidence and clarity. He supports his arguments with reference to large, widely accepted scientific studies and logic.
In addition to being well-argued, the book is entertaining and occasionally funny. I hadn't even finished before I ordered a second copy to give to a friend.
Fascinating and well-written!
