Believing it, it's a fact of life there ditto, scientists looked at Behe's stuff and went, WHAT?

Scientist: Intelligent design? What the heck is that?

Scientist: OK, so who's the intelligent Designer?

Behe: Uh, just something or someone that designed us.

S: OK, then prove that the intelligent designer exists.

B: I can't.

S: OK, then prove that an intelligent designer doesn't exist.

B: I can't do that either.

S: Then it's not scientific, you cannot show evidence for the existence of an intelligent designer, and you cannot show evidence disproving the existence of an intelligent designer.

S: It cannot be falsified, until you can falsify it, then it is NOT science.

S: Prove that it is irreducibly complex.

B: Well, look at it.

S: What?

B: Look at it.

S: OK, what about it?

B: see this flegellum here, there is no way that this creature can exist without it.

S: OK, so what about it's simpler cousins.

B: Excuse me?

S: What about it's similar cousins that do not have this flegellum?

B: What about them?

S: Do they survive without this flagellum?

B: Well, yes.

S: Then it's NOT irreducibly complex.


There ya go, a conversation between a REAL scientist and Behe.

Thanks for playing.
