It is no harder than the discovery of relativity theoty by [o horror!] a patent bureau clerk A. Einstein. He was not even a professor ANYWHERE at the time. First-rate appointments came later. But Behe is a screw-up, and not an Einstein, that's the trouble. Learn to lose with class.
The point has been made before that had the current peer review process been in place in Einstein's day, many important physics theories might never have seen the light of day.
