This link, http://www.arn.org/behe/mb_response.htm ,should provide you with a more detailed list of Behe's responses to his critics, not just Coyne.

If you take a little time to read his responses you will find yourself a little more informed and better able to discuss the reasoning behind his tactics. Simply reading a highly irrational "peer-review" of his book by Coyne and basing your entire opinion on that is simply appeasing your intellectual bias. Coyne's criticism is nothing but ad hominem hot air relying on the old and useless Darwinian method of simply equating ID with Biblical creationism and dismissing it. This is a dishonest tactic and not one that a true scientist would adopt. But then again, that is what Darwinism is all about.

Lastly, I'm not confusing Darwinism with atheism. I'm merely pointing out that an atheistic ideology, naturalism, has so dominated scientific thought over the past several decades that honest scientific work in the area of origins cannont be carried out. Darwinism is the mechanism and atheism is the motivation.

Really, I could have sworn I'd read a claim of a dishonest quotation.. Where does Behe apologize for his unethical behavior? Or are you claiming that Coyne misquoted himeslf to make Behe look bad?
