Michael Behe is known as "The Father of Intelligent Design" but the University he works at is not, and they have released a disclaimer seperating themselves from this non scientific, religious belief. Read More and Watch his appearance |

"But it seems these days that the TV shows only want woo people on to talk."
Uh. You do realize that The Colbert Report is a parody TV show, right?

The Colbert Report and the Daily Show rock hard. Steven Colbert is a Bill O' Reilly parody.

"But it seems these days that the TV shows only want woo people on to talk." Uh. You do realize that The Colbert Report is a parody TV show, right? Not only that, it's a TV show that has also featured the likes of Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris within the past year. Hardly "woo people"... |

Behe is very fond of the "irreducible complexity" argument, but unfortunately for him its been debunked so many times these past few years by reputable scientists it does make him look a little foolish. His argument about HIV has been thouroughly battered by a pregraduate student, and that makes him look especially silly. www.pandasthumb.org/archives/2007/08/erv_hiv_versus.html |

Was it this guy who talks about the flagellum thing being like an outboard motor? An idea that was actually debunked by a religious scientist! ;D |

Yup Michael Behe and William Dembski both though the flagellum was far to complex a mechanism to have naturally evolved. To them it was proof of Intelligent Design (God). Heres the ass kicking it recieved. www.talkdesign.org/faqs/flagellum.html |
