Intelligent Design front-man Micheal Behe had an interview on Christian radio last week. One wonder's why an 'Intelligent Design' proponent would want to be on a Christian radio show, since it's a purely scientific idea. Riiight.
Around the end of the interview he says that Darwinists believe that bacteria turned into cats in just a couple hundred years. Care to site any examples on that Dr. Behe?
I just keep thinking back to the Dover ruling. Behe has never published any peer reviewed papers on his 'scientific' ID. Nor has anyone else. Behe says that some of his ideas are justified only by science fiction films. Behe has not tested ID in the lab. He has no data or proof for any of it. He also states on cross examination that the definition of 'science' would have to be changed in order to allow for ID such that Astrology would be a science.
Oh, and his critique of the Nova episode was beautiful; 'they got my words right'. Ok, and? What? Your words made you look like a fool.
Update: I emailed Behe for a clarification on his bacterium claim. We'll see if he responds.
Updated (11:52): Dr. Behe replied and said that it was an exaggeration. I asked him to provide a new version that was not an exaggeration.
