... but one example ...

I remember being very unimpressed by the constant Behe drumbeat of [paraphrase] "You know Design by the purposeful arrangement of parts." That sounds promising, until he fails to deliver on how you know a purposeful arrangement of parts. It turns out Behe just knows one when he sees one.

It's worse than that: almost nothing is more random than a bunch of gas molecules flying around randomly smashing into each other and the sides of the container, yet who can deny the claim that it is a "purposeful arrangement of parts": the molecules are in the exact configuration that allows them to fit the container in which they reside!

What are the odds of that happening EVERY TIME A GAS IS PUT IN A CONTAINER without a designer being behind it!

I'm glad to read that you also picked this up.

I've been calling, in my earlier posts to these threads: Behe's either guilty of sophistry or infllicted with mental deficiency .

His testimony at Dover was devasting...he's both.
