I can't say enough good things about this book. One of my favorite things about this book was watching the evolution community scramble to discredit it, and announce all manners of victory over discrediting it, then watch Behe blog about their supposed "critique" and demonstrate they have done no such thing. His arguments in his book stood strong in the midst of the attacks from the evolution community.
The first rule of adaptive evolution
Behe introduces an intriguing concept: His “first rule of adaptive evolution,” namely that:
“Break or blunt any functional gene whose loss would increase the number of a species’s offspring.”It turns out that most beneficial mutations we observer actually "break or blunt" something in order to gain a fitness advantage in a given context. Given that, it's seriously hard to image that micro-organisms will ever evolve into mankind.
Evolutionists are not evaluating evolution
In the middle of the book, it takes a few pages to share a rather revealing concept: Evolutionists are not at all paying attention to the devolution data. They data is right there, but they are ignoring it, because it does not contribute to supporting evolution. They only care about evidence that helps prove evolution to be true.
And we're supposed to be swayed by the fact that these scientists believe that evolution is true??
