Behe

Scott 1/14/14: In this article, Behe, whom you cite prodigiously, appears to have gotten a good smackdown from a staff writer of the Stanford Review. At the top of the article however, he was given some support by Tristan Abbey. She wants to take a “wait and see” approach, though ID,

may indeed be a laughable idea and its proponents relegated to the dustbin of crackpot theories, alongside the Flat Earth and Marxist-Leninist “science.”

In this rebuke, Behe’s own Department of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University communicated their embarrassment over his positions.

Here is Behe’s paper, prominently cited in Casey’s article. Note how proud Behe is of his affiliation with Lehigh University. But I googled the paper. It has beautiful squirrely scrolling print at the top. If I wrote something I thought was so important, I would want squirrely scrolls at the top too! However, it just doesn’t seem to be important four years after its publication. I was able to find this blog post on it. I would be too embarrassed to reference the piece after such a review! I don’t expect Behe to be included in that publication again soon.
