The judge bought this lie [that it has failed to publish in peer-reviewed journals] hook, line, and sinker, and repeats it in his decision. Discovery org has a list of articles in scientific publications.

From page 88 of the judge's opinion, referring to Behe's own testimony:

On cross-examination, Professor Behe admitted that: “There are no peer reviewed articles by anyone advocating for intelligent design supported by pertinent experiments or calculations which provide detailed rigorous accounts of how intelligent design of any biological system occurred.” (22:22-23 (Behe)). Additionally, Professor Behe conceded that there are no peer-reviewed papers supporting his claims that complex molecular systems, like the bacterial flagellum, the blood-clotting cascade, and the immune system, were intelligently designed. (21:61-62 (complex molecular systems), 23:4-5 (immune system), and 22:124-25 (blood-clotting cascade) (Behe)). In that regard, there are no peer-reviewed articles supporting Professor Behe’s argument that certain complex molecular structures are “irreducibly complex.”17 (21:62, 22:124-25 (Behe)). In addition to failing to produce papers in peer-reviewed journals, ID also features no scientific research or testing. (28:114-15 (Fuller); 18:22-23, 105-06 (Behe)).

Amiably,

From page 88 of the judge's opinion, referring to Behe's own testimony:

The judge's demands for (echoing the plaintiffs word for word) "peer-reviewed" articles as if labled by a BRAND NAME, and as if certain journals represented the only avenue of legitimate scientific publication, is idiotic. By the same reasoning this judge would have eliminated from the realm of science Darwin's The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.

Do you really want judges (lawyers) deciding, with universal jurisdiction, what is or is not science?

Cordially,
