There appears to be some evolutionary structure, particularly in genes, that withstands scientific scrutiny.
However, it appears also that alot of it doesn’t fit anything at all.
Thus to struggle on with God....
Are medical schools being McCarthyist by not wanting to consider supernatural alternates to disease, such as demonic possession (which lots of people believe)? No - they rightfully stick to germ theory, which is valid, testable, and has held up to over a century of challenge. If a frustrated witch doctor wanted demonic possession to be on the medical school curricula, he’d accuse the “establishment” of being McCarthyist towards him too.
Science being destroyed by religious fervor.
Thus science admits that nature can offer no explanation for the origin of either.
And that is outside of evolution, a completely different question being studied by astrophysicists.
the vast majority of randomly occurring mutations are harmful
Vast majority. Give me hundreds of billions of mutations and there is much room for non-harmful mutations.
As Michael Behé pointed out Darwin's Black Box
And as has been pointed out, Behe is wrong. Let it go, the horse died a long time ago.
Significantly, not even Darwin believed his theory could explain the origin of life. That's why his seminal work is called Origin of Species rather than Origin of Life.
The brings up this true statement, yet brought up the "origin of the universe" question above against evolution. It seems he is using the standard strawman tactic, hoping readers have a VERY short memory.
Any connection?

Misrepresentation of the Cambrian explosion is a cornerstone of the worst of some ID proponents. Fish appeared in the late Cambrian - well after the initial 'explosion'. Entire cladistical families - amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds - did not appear until after the Cambrian. Land was not inhabited at the end of the Cambrian. It's like implying there wasn't a house next door yesterday and a complete house is there today - when all that is present is the foundation and some framing.
