Title: Misunderstanding Darwin created a black box in Behe's brain
Product review: When I read Behe's book I gave him all the benefits of doubt until I reached the end. I was waiting for some last moment redeeming fact, but this did not happen. It was with a jolt that I read the clear and anticlimatic creationist message.Pity! Although some of the arguments were well developed (albeit not original), they could have been easily answered by just accepting that evolution is a blind phenomenon and as such, full of design mistakes, as eloquently illustrated in G.William's "Plan and purpose in Nature". Behe should have read that before writing his book. He should also have consulted with many other authors who have shown that a complete eye could have evolved more than a thousand times since the oldest fossil bearing a complete eye, without having to resort to a plan.Clearly, Behe was a victim to finalism.It was fun reading it, though and I regularly mention it in my classes to enliven the discussion.
