My own theory is that Behe, a Catholic like myself, was utterly naive about the lunacy biblical literalists can come up with, and is embarassed and perhaps a little scared by his new fan-club, so he's backing off.

As a Catholic, do you really believe that there is no directed goal, ultimate purpose, and intelligent design, to life?

Yes, yes and no. I think the Creator simply plugged in some values for fundamental constants, dimensionality of space, and a few other things, and let the whole shebang go on its own. After all, if one were all-knowing, one could just get it right, right at the start. Only amateurs need to tinker with things constantly.
