I don't see any harm in leaving it in news, since that's where many of the evolution threads have gone.

Michael Behe is one of the two or three most important theorists in this area. Darwinists may disagree with him, but he uses rational, scientific arguments to make his case. So a new book is important news on an issue that has become politicized in our activist courts.

...but he (Behe) uses rational, scientific arguments to make his case.

What a pantload! You really should read his court testimony (Dover, Pa.) under cross examination regarding his defense of the concept: "Irreduceable Complexity."

Any suggestion that Behe uses rational, scientific arguments will be quickly dispelled after reading this.

A fundamental thread in my trek through 20 years of willful suspension of disbelief and self-delusion of superstitious misinformation.

Last time he was in court, he testified that if the definiton of science were to be weakened enough that it included ID, it would have been weakened enough to include astrology.

He also made a complete fool of himself in an earlier book, when he claimed that the blood clotting cascade and the bacterial flagellum, among other things, could not be a product of evolution. The problem was, there was already substantial research on precisely those topics, and he hadn't bothered to even check with his colleagues, or consult the technical literature!

It should be noted, however, that Behe's arguments are only "scientific" based upon his redefinition of the word "scientific", which encompasses studies in astrology as well.
