The Intelligent Design and Irriducible Complexities of Michael Behe

from ravel · host Basil Rosewater & Dr. Christopher Ryan Gates

According to Wikipedia: "Michael Behe is an American biochemist and author, widely known as an advocate of the pseudoscientific principle of intelligent design (ID). He serves as professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and as a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. Behe is best known as an advocate for the validity of the argument for irreducible complexity (IC), which claims that some biochemical structures are too complex to be explained by known evolutionary mechanisms and are therefore probably the result of intelligent design." But that's not the whole story. Wikipedia (surprise surprise) gets some things wrong about Mr. Behe! Today, the Ravel Boys go deep - exploring concepts like intelligent design, irreducible complexity and the scientific industrial complex. We also give Michael an opportunity Wikipedia never has: to set the record straight!
