Charles Darwin himself told us how his evolutionary theory could be overturned: identify a biological system that couldn\u2019t possibly have evolved by “numerous success successive slight modifications.” It\u2019s to Darwin\u2019s credit that he put his theory in \u201cempirical harm\u2019s way,\u201d to quote philosopher Del Ratzsch, but as Witt and Behe note, Darwin also cleverly placed the burden of proof on his opponents, an arguably dubious maneuver given that his proposed evolutionary mechanism has never once been observed to generate a fundamentally new biological form or molecular machine. Still, Behe has taken up the challenge. Listen in as he discusses how his \u201cirreducible complexity\u201d arguments against Darwinism have fared, and for a teaser about an upcoming anthology where Behe directly engages his critics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On this episode of ID the Future, Jonathan Witt caught up with Darwin\u2019s Black Box author and biochemist Michael Behe at the 2020 Dallas Science and Faith conference, where the two discuss an idea that many wish would just go away, but hasn’t.
