Odd that Darwin's Black Box made this list (because I agree with most of the others on the list).
The book documents processes that seem to be inexplicable by the process of darwinian evolution. Its fair to disagree with Mr. Behe's conclusions -- but apparently the author of this article would rather the world keep silence than to question the validity of the religion of darwin. And since Darwin's Black Box question's this god, the author of this article is offended. I don't even know if he read the book. Had he, he'd have known that Mr. Behe did nothing to support the literal interpretation of Genesis - he merely pointed out a few examples of 'irreducible complexity' (e.g., blood clotting, eyesight); and how the world of microbiology has revealed even higher degrees of complexity and 'apparent design' that Darwin never dreamed of.

I have not read Behe's book so I didn't want to comment on the author's review. However, I have read other ID books (Phillip Johnson) and they do not advocate a literal interpretation of Genesis. So the author pulls out a "Straw Man" to knock down Behe's book......typical.

It's both strange and ironic that Behe's book is up there with Sanger's. Sanger was a thoroughly Darwinian persona. She was the girlfriend of H.G wells and Havelock Ellis. Both were Eugenists. H.G. Wells helped Julian Huxley write the series Science of Life, which was like the Dawkins books of that era. Sanger was a member of both the american and the british Eugenics societies. Julian Huxley was president of the british Eugenics Society. Konrad Lorenz (Nazi race hygienist and life-long friend of Huxley) won the Unesco Kalinga prize - so did Huxley and Mead. Lorenz's colleague was Richard Dawkins's Ph.D supervisor. Actually, Julian was a friend of Richard Dawkins's grandfather. The inbred nature of all this is staggering.
