Title: Where are the birds, the bees, the bacteria?
Product review: Behe's book lends itself the veneer of science by giving a great deal of information on biochemistry. But he completely ignores natural history - the variety of living forms we see around us. Natural history makes a nonsense of Behe's arguments. Every one of the supposedly "irriducibly complex" biochemical systems that Behe describes exists in a simpler version somewhere in the natural world. (Is that a specific or a generality?)Behe - amazingly - compares himself to Darwin. The comparison is telling. Darwin came to his ideas by spending a lifetime observing the variation in the natural world. Behe came to his by willfully ignoring it.
