As for Behe and his claims, I dont see why Coulter would have quoted him unless he pointed out some serious problems with Darwins Theory. Nor would evolutionists need to seek discrediting him. Hes a problem for evolution believers. Nor is Behe the only one.
I don't understand the disconnect you have here. (It would serve your argument better to leave Coulter out of it; as her chapter on evolution was just embarrassing on many levels.)
So Behe, who admitted under oath that ID was on equal footing with ASTROLOGY, and who does certainly believe in an old earth, common descent, and adaptive evolution, has come to believe that some very minute details have not been sufficiently explained through evolution?
So what? Isn't that a GOOD thing? "Thanks!" says the scientists, "Now let's get to work on that interesting question." And they do.
They also admit wrongs, admit to knowledge gaps, and (time/$ permitting) set to work on them. That's how science works.
I actually think Behe is a genius - he's a fully aware and knowledgeable evolutionist but also a shrewd businessman. He publishes books with lots of big words to sell on the mass-market and become rich, but he also cleverly goes on trial and says the most damning things about ID, basically derailing the whole childish idea.
Three cheers for Dr. Behe!

I guess Ann Coulter is getting under your skin. She’s certainly not ‘too dumn to understand evolution’. She’s another shining example of how idiotic this headline is.
