I have a PhD in chemical biology (graduated in 2001) and now I do research on red cell metabolism. In my estimation, Behe does demolish the counter-arguments.
This sad and inflammatory post is typical as to the supposed wisdom and scientific merits of many evolutionists. They think they are so smart but fail to show some humility. Saying that you've heard it all just doesn't add any substance to the debate. I suggest trying to respond to the following: http://www.iscid.org/papers/Behe_ReplyToCritics_12 1201.pdf
I'm personally convinced that people get so emotional because they don't know how to respond to the ID people and throw up language like this. As Behe nicely shows, the evolutionists do a very poor, if not dishonest job, in trying to address his claims.
Essentially all the comments that I've read on/. the past couple of days have indicated that ID has been completely debunked by science. However, this just isn't the case. People have been trying to do it but have been decidely put down by the ID people. A case in point is Behe's book "Darwin's Black Box." He pretty much demolishes critics in this reply. http://www.iscid.org/papers/Behe_ReplyToCritics_12 1201.pdf
People, let's not just assume that evolution has "won out." ID does have merits that evolutionists need to seriously contemplate, respond to, or allow there to be dialogue and both views taught in school.
