The groundbreaking, "seminal work" (Time) on intelligent design that dares to ask, was Darwin wrong? In 1996, Darwin's Black Box helped to launch the intelligent design movement: the argument that nature exhibits evidence of design, beyond Darwinian randomness. It sparked a national debate on evolution, which continues to intensify across the country. From one end of the spectrum to the other, Darwin's Black Box has established itself as the key intelligent design text -- the one argument that must be addressed in order to determine whether Darwinian evolution is sufficient to explain life as we know it. In a major new Afterword for this edition, Behe explains that the complexity discovered by microbiologists has dramatically increased since the book was first published. That complexity is a continuing challenge to Darwinism, and evolutionists have had no success at explaining it. Darwin's Black Box is more important today than ever.

Re-reading and pre-reading before we use this at school this year. **********************************Excellent book. Resulted in some fantastic discussions in relationship to the biology text that we read alongside of it.
This is a perefect example of why religion and science can't get along. As a person who believes in science i felt obligated to review it, but honestly it is just bad applied science, or should I say "pseudoscience".
Darwin's Black Box is Michael J. Behe's answer to evolution: irreducible complexity. I'm not going to summarize the book (mostly because I'm not a biochemist), but I found the chapter on blood clotting particularly intriguing. Again, I don't think I'm qualified to determine whether irreducible compl...
