Title: But What Happened?
Product review: This book falls into the broad category of criticism of evolution. Unfortunately, it fails because it does not offer a clear alternative. Behe tries to argue that things were 'designed' but then fails to say just what was designed and when (I can agree with Behe to skip 'who' for now). For example, he claims that the biochemical evidence on the mammalian clotting system was designed. When was it designed? In what animal? The paleontological evidence shows that mammals have been around for 150+ million years. Was the very first mammal imbued with a clotting system by the designer and then the rest of the mammals (humans included) evolved from that? Or is he proposing something else? Flagella have been around for most the beginning of life on earth; when did the designer do that? Before that, were there bacteria without flagella? Behe would do far better if he were to come out and say, even vaguely, what happened and when.
