Why should anyone listen to you? Behe's ideas are not holding up under detailed examination here, nor is this an isolated incident.

I cannot find any sort of compelling reason to "listen to me," especially considering the anonymity of the net. With that said - why listen to anyone, then? We could all be mad-men, no? Read the book. With your background - as I understand it - it shouldn't be tough.

You are slamming down the lid of your mind, cutting and running at the horror of contradictory data.

I'm not sure what contradictory data you are referring to. Perhaps I should go back and read the entire thread?

Irreducible complexity, like any idea, is not comepletely perfect, and can be picked at. I don't hold that IC is the Holy Grail, but it does give more then enough food for thought, particularly in regards to the development of the first cell from organic precursors. I know, I know - "but, but, but, that's NOT evolution" - well, if science can't even manage a cell without a miraculous event, then I'm not about to start eating the "evolution is the cornerstone to origins" bullsh!t and letting everyone know just how TASTY it is.

It's like I've said before, if none of this bothers you, then I'm not sure what good a discussion further on the subject will help.

Nothing about abiogenesis or the evolution of complex structures makes magical, supernatural intervention preferable as an explanation.
