Title: Bad science, worse religion
Product review: I'll toss my hat in here though I won't critique the arguments of the book as that has been done wonderfully and adequately by other reviewers. Instead I'll take my soap box and say what really bothers me about this book - Behe's arrogance. And not just Behe's but that of the whole ID gang.Here's the basic argument: as we study biochemical processes we find systems whose origins are difficult or currently impossible to explain in a step-wise evolutionary scheme. Thus there must be a god who created these systems.Come on. This is really bad science - actually it's not science at all - and pretty damned poor religion (though I claim no particular expertise in that.) Behe is saying that since he just can't conjure up a scheme for this process surely god must have originated it. Jeeze. Maybe we ought to make a guy that smart president???
