Darwin's Black Box

The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution

De: Michael J. Behe

Narrado por: Marc William

Naming Darwin's Black Box to the National Review's list of the 100 most important nonfiction works of the 20th century, George Gilder wrote that it "overthrows Darwin at the end of the 20th century in the same way that quantum theory overthrew Newton at the beginning".

Discussing the book in the New Yorker in May 2005, H. Allen Orr said of Behe, "He is the most prominent of the small circle of scientists working on intelligent design, and his arguments are by far the best known." From one end of the spectrum to the other, Darwin's Black Box has established itself as the key text in the Intelligent Design movement - the one argument that must be addressed in order to determine whether Darwinian evolution is sufficient to explain life as we know it, or not.

For this edition, Behe has written a major new Afterword tracing the state of the debate in the decade since it began. It is his first major new statement on the subject and will be welcomed by the thousands who wish to continue this intense debate.

facts

I have no real criticism of the book itself. However, after reading many of the critical reviews of this book, I noticed a pattern emerge. Almost every single critical review of "Darwin's Black Box" either has an extremely biased perspective against creation and/or they fail to differentiate between micro-evolution and macro-evolution. Perhaps this is not by accident.

Behe's goal is not to disprove evolution. The point of the book is to show the fragility of Darwinism. Read more carefully.

well argued

excellent well reasoned arguments based on science. it seems strange how often evolutionist tell story's that are not based on science. they often say it just happened this way...

classic. and will remain to be one

written in mid 90s it is still relevant. information still accurate, and of course, there are no good rebuttals in print.
you should not outsource your thinking. read it for yourself.
i can't believe it only came out on audible in 2019

Excellent analysis of intelligent design

This books covers many of the missing components of the Darwinian evolution model. This book covers the microbiology side of the equation. The book “Privileged Planet” covers the macro side…

Better than The Origin of Species

Where Darwin made huge leaps from astute observations to pure speculation, this guy comes in and provides real science, not just theory.
