Title: Is Behe hiding something?
Product review: Stuart Kaufmann offers a direct explanation for "irreducible complexity". He argues that life is not so improbable as our intuition or pride leads us to believe. This is a serious challenge for Behe, yet Behe does not engage this line of reasoning at all. Instead he: 1) conflates Kaufmann's book-length argument into a paragraph and then calls it "fuzzy", 2) notes that a critic called Kaufmann's work "fact-free science" (Kaufmann is a theoretical biologist working with high-level characterizations of biochemical and genetic systems, 3) complains that there are no chemicals listed in Kaufmann's index. Behe apparently doesn't want his readers to consider Kaufmann. Overall, his tone is perjorative and dismissive; the tone of someone with an indefensible postion.
