B52500 - Darwin's Black Box - book

Was Darwin wrong? "Michael Behe has done a top-notch job of explaining and illuminating one of the most vexing problems in biology: the origin of the complexity that permeates all of life on this planetÖ. This book should be on the essential reading list of all those who are interested in the question of where we came from, as it presents the most thorough and clever presentation of the design argument that I have seen" -Robert Shapiro

From the back cover:

"Mike Behe ... makes an overwhelming case against Darwin on the biochemical level. No one has done this before. It is an argument of great originality, elegance, and intellectual power. For readers who have been persuaded that biologists have long since demonstrated the validity of Darwinian theory, [Behe's] observations are apt to be a source of astonishment." - David Berlinski, A TOUR OF THE CALCULUS

"[Behe's] talent for lively exposition ... charmingly convey[s] a sense of biochemistry's hidden beauty." - James Shreeve, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

"A well-written and thoughtful statement of the biochemical challenge." - Will St. John, DETROIT FREE PRESS

"[A] valuable critique of an all-too-often unchallenged orthodoxy." - James A. Shapiro, NATIONAL REVIEW

Michael J. Behe is Professor of Biochemistry at Lehigh University. He lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
