So natural selection could not evolve the flagellum . . .I said no such thing. Why must you make things up?

What you said was: "So, via the designer of natural selection, how did the bacterial flagellum come about?" . . In ways that Behe could never imagine.

Behe is obviously well aware of natural selection. You either communicated your thought poorly or you believe that natural selection could not evolve the flagellum.

If that were true we would not be having this thread. You are aware, aren't you that he has taken review resopnsibility for the "Pandas" book, and under oath has repudiated its content.

"Behe is obviously well aware of natural selection."

He also doesn't think that it can explain the bacterium flagellum, so what's your point? When I said,

"In ways that Behe could never imagine. You DO realize that the flagellum has been found to not be irreducibly complex don't you?"

I was merely saying that because Behe can't imagine how Natural Selection could have made it, this doesn't mean that nobody else can't or hasn't.

"You either communicated your thought poorly or you believe that natural selection could not evolve the flagellum."

Or you were unable to comprehend what I said. Since I posted to you in post 243,

"Look to post 228 for a good evolutionary explanation of how the flagellum evolved."

And as you are now responding to post 243, another option is available; you not being honest about what I said. You know I didn't say that natural selection couldn't produce the flagellum, and you know I directed you to an evolutionary model for the construction of the flagellum.

Bingo.
