Title: An arrogant assessment of the powers of "Mother Nature."
Product review: The author's argument, presented at length, all boils down to the notion that if Professor Behe can't understand how a complex natural process has taken place, it is "irreducibly complex" and must have required a supernatural hand. This view runs entirely counter to what every genuine working scientist learns: However pretty one's preconceived hypotheses are, they will not be, should they turn out to be incorrect, as pretty as the process that is actually embedded in the natural world. Professor Behe should not only know better as a scientist, but he should, as a practicing Catholic, confess to the sin of arrogance. My rating of "2" merely reflects the fact that Behe is not a young-earth creationist, who would merit a "1." Nor does he have the prerogative of law professor Philip Johnson, a "3," of pleading ignorance of the methodology of science
