"The big conflict arises because many scientists do not acknowledge that there is anything that is outside of the domain of science" - Michael Behe
Salem-News.com

(TEHRAN) - Michael Behe is an American scientist and biochemist. Being an intelligent design advocate, he serves as a professor of biochemistry at the University of Lehigh in Pennsylvania. He is also a senior fellow at Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture.

Behe has controversially challenged the evolution theory of Charles Darwin which underpins the ideology of western though with regards to the material life and universe.

In his 1996 book "Darwin's Black Box", Behe has proposed the notion of irreducible complexity which underscores the role of an intelligent designer in the emergence of complex biological systems. According to this theory, certain biological systems are too complex to have evolved from simpler and less complex predecessors.

The theory of Behe undermines the basis of atheism and secularism as it advocates the role of an intelligent, conscious designer in the creation of human being. That's why Michael Behe has been attacked and insulted by a number of his opponents and the materialist scientists who deny the existence of God.

Michael Behe has been accused of disseminating deceitful falsehood and what is describe as pseudo-science in the scientific circles around the world. Behe's theory has been labeled as argument from ignorance and the University of Lehigh has clearly distanced itself from his viewpoints regarding the evolution - creation debate.

Here is the complete text of interview with Michael Behe in which he describes why the western society is afraid of the propagation of "intelligent design" theory.

Thank you for posting this, sister. It goes on all the time.

Some months ago, we discussed Ben Stein's excellent film Expelled, about the war against creationism. (If you Google the film now, 98% of the hits will be vicious attacks: the "intelligencia" hates Ben Stein more than they hated Richard Nixon and Sarah Palin put together, because his film exposed their devilment.) Anyway, here's a link to a very good interview between Stein and the Presbyterian theologian, R. C. Sproul.

Years ago, when I was teaching writing at a college in Ohio, I had the opportunity to become rather close to a brother who was being denied tenure because of his creationist beliefs. Despite the fact that he met and exceeded all professional expectations, despite the fact that he had the highest student evaluations of any teacher in his department, the Biology profs denied him tenure because (I'm not making this up) he was "weird" and "because he wore white socks with a suit!" Which, I'm afraid, he did; but.....

His name was Jerry Bergman. He was a dear brother, and his story is one of hundreds, if not thousands.

Truth is fallen in the street (Isaiah 59:14).

This excellent interview brought up an idea new to me that instantly made sense: evolutionary scientists are using magic to explain reality. I love that. It immediately brought to my mind the showdowns between Moses and the magicians of Pharaoh and Elijah and the prophets of Baal.
