Micheal Behe notes

One of the guys in the Scopes Trail that supported intelligent design is Michael Behe. Michael was born in January 18, 1952. He was a very famous and successful American biochemist, author, and intelligent design advocate. Some of the things he was known for in his profession was that he was known for argument for irreducible complexity. He liked to question things. One of the big things he argues is that some biochemical structures are too complex to be explained by known evolutionary mechanisms and are therefore probably the result of intelligent design. Behe is testified in the court case Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District that resulted in a ruling that the idea of intelligent design is religious in nature. He believes there is evidence at a biochemical level that there are systems that are "irreducibly complex." These were systems could not, even in principle, have evolved by natural selection, and thus must have been created by an "intelligent designer," which he believed to be the only possible alternative explanation for such complex structures. Behe also believed in evolution. while evolution can produce changes within species, there is a limit to the ability of evolution to generate diversity, and this limit (the "edge of evolution") is somewhere between species and orders. Darwinian evolution actually exists but plays only a limited role in the development and diversification of life on Earth. This all Behe was a scientist in.
