The mousetrap man
Interview with Mike Behe, the mousetrap1 man
by Carl Wieland
Dr Michael Behe is associate professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, USA. His book Darwins Black Box has caused quite a stir among Darwinists for its profound attack on blind watchmaker evolution. It highlights intelligent design as an obvious, logical explanation for the intricacy of biochemical systems found in living things.
Although biblical creationists have been able to make good use of his powerful arguments, Dr Behe does not claim to be on our side. When I spoke to him briefly on the phone for this article, he confirmed that if there was good evidence for it [life coming about through some sort of evolutionary process], I would just accept that. A Roman Catholic, he says he does not have any theological difficulties with the idea that we came from fish via ape-like ancestors.
No
well, I think it should be decided on the evidence. The idea of common descent has support, and also some problems. Right now, Im willing to accept it as a reasonable working hypothesis, but I could always change my mind.
"Dr Behe does not claim to be on our side."
And this is the guy the creo's are following? AIG looks absollutely stellar compared to the zealots here.
