The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution

Resumen del Editor

Naming Darwin's Black Box to the National Review's list of the 100 most important nonfiction works of the 20th century, George Gilder wrote that it "overthrows Darwin at the end of the 20th century in the same way that quantum theory overthrew Newton at the beginning".

Discussing the book in the New Yorker in May 2005, H. Allen Orr said of Behe, "He is the most prominent of the small circle of scientists working on intelligent design, and his arguments are by far the best known." From one end of the spectrum to the other, Darwin's Black Box has established itself as the key text in the Intelligent Design movement - the one argument that must be addressed in order to determine whether Darwinian evolution is sufficient to explain life as we know it, or not.

For this edition, Behe has written a major new Afterword tracing the state of the debate in the decade since it began. It is his first major new statement on the subject and will be welcomed by the thousands who wish to continue this intense debate.

well argued

excellent well reasoned arguments based on science. it seems strange how often evolutionist tell story's that are not based on science. they often say it just happened this way...

very good book by M.Behe

I loved the book. it is written in specific language, but any university student will handle it. at the end of the book author responds to his critics which is valuable addition

A Fascinating Tour de Force

Behe’s powerful demonstration of the evidence for complexity at the molecular level proves to be too much for many dogma-driven scientists to take on. But the evidence is overwhelming, and Bebe is correct to say that certain areas of molecular biology have a long way to go to explain and demonstrate a strong theory of origins.

Excelente

Excelente, muy claro y contundente argumento a favor del diseño!! Fascinante mundo el de la química molecular.

Yeah But Is It Science?

A most enjoyable read for those who have troubles believing Darwin. Michael Behe lays out the scientific basis for intelligent design and pretty well shows that Darwinism has no scientific basis to it except this looks like that so maybe it's the same thing not a very compelling argument. It has a lot of very scientific talk to the book but Michael explains it in a way that makes it very simple to understand and gives you references to look deeper if you so choose. One of the most compelling arguments is the fact that no microbiology textbook reference book or anything else has any references to evolution. That's a strange situation for what is supposed to be the foundation of the beginning of life on this planet.

classic. and will remain to be one

written in mid 90s it is still relevant. information still accurate, and of course, there are no good rebuttals in print.
you should not outsource your thinking. read it for yourself.
i can't believe it only came out on audible in 2019

Excellent analysis of intelligent design

This books covers many of the missing components of the Darwinian evolution model. This book covers the microbiology side of the equation. The book “Privileged Planet” covers the macro side…

Well built thesis on ID and problem of Darwinian Evolution at the biochemical level.

This book is quite complex to read/listen to. However, the author gives his explanation for that. Some things are just irreducibly complex - such as biochemistry.

Behe has provided a real challenge for Darwinian proponents that have yet to respond. Biochemistry may be the nail in the proverbial coffin for Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.

Unfortunately, evolutionary scientists have a philosophical reason for accepting the data. They simply don’t want to see it or believe it. To do so would lead to a different conversation about exactly WHO is the intelligent agent behind life and matter.

There is no logical argument

Behe did extensive and exhaustive work to literally stitch together this boat piece by piece protein by protein nucleotide by nucleotide to portray the extensive complexity of a living organism.

I one example is that evolution would be like a tornado going through a junkyard and creating a 747. however after listening to the book I counter that it would be more like a tornado creating a fully organized and functioning City as big or bigger than New York. That is not just improbable but I would venture to say impossible.

if we were ever to see something like that occur we would call it miraculous. Such is life...

Great layman’s level explanations

I have watched way more than a dozen YouTube videos with Michael be he explaining this book before I listened to it, so I was familiar with what was about to be presented. His ability to describe these things in ways that the layman can understand was impressive!

He used enough technical jargon to make his work feel authentic and accurate, as well as let you know that he does not consider his listeners to be “too dumb to understand.“

At the same time, he used enough descriptions that were at the layman’s level so that us “normies” can understand.
