New Edition: Darwin's Black Box

The new 10th Anniversary edition of the book that still has Darwin Fundies running scared. With a new afterword.

"A persuasive book. It will speak to the layman and perhaps even to professional evolutionists as well, if they are able to suspend for a little while their own judgment about origins, the ultimate black box."

"An argument of great originality, elegance, and intellectual power. . . . No one can propose to defend Darwin without meeting the challenges set out in this superbly written and compelling book."

"Overthrows Darwin at the end of the twentieth century in the same way that quantum theory overthrew Newton at the beginning."

"[Behe] is the most prominent of the small circle of scientists working on intelligent design, and his arguments are by far the best known."

"When examined with the powerful tools of modern biology, but not with its modern prejudices, life on a biochemical level can be a product, Behe says, only of intelligent design. Coming from a practicing biologist. . . this proposition is close to heretical."

Actually Behe has answered in detail the empty claims of the Darwin Fundies (of course the Darwin Fundie Newsletter probably forgot to mention these):
