I have no idea what 'evolution proponents' would agree with this. No competent biological chemist thinks a flagellum could evolve de novo in 10,000 generations in a single bacterial culture.

It does seem bizarre. There's some really shabby thinking here about who has the burden of coming forward with evidence for ID. It's not the job of scientists to waste their time dis-proving ID's claims.

I'm waiting with bated breath for the plaintiffs' attorney to ask Behe on cross examination if he thinks Evolutionary scientists should have to run experiments to try to disprove the Flying Spaghetti Monster....
