Finally some REAL science!

Really? Where? Behe repeating his oft-disproven claims does not constitute "science" at all.

You know this just infuriates the evol-religionists to hell n back.

Behe has merely let his fervor lead him to premature, unfounded conclusions. Such mistakes are understandable enough to not be infuriating.

What does sometimes chafe, however, is seeing how many people who don't even understand his arguments well enough to be able to spot the obvious flaws jump up and down with glee and use it to cheer the invalid conclusion, because it reinforces their philosophical prejudices.

That's the worst sort of anti-rational mob-think. It's the same sort of "if it confirms what I want to believe, then I'll accept it as proof" thinking (or more accurately, "non-thinking") which leads to such dangerous beliefs as the Arab conviction that Jews avoided the WTC on 9/11 despite abundant evidence that such a claim is bunk.

That's the problem with these threads on both sides.

It is a religious battle pretending to be about science.

The evolutionists are less honest about it, or perhaps less self aware than the other side.

Your bias is evident in each letter written. You've disqualified yourself as a self imposed thinker.
