Darwin's Black Box (1996)

"Mike Behe...makes an overwhelming case against Darwin on the biochemical level. No one has done this before. It is an argument of great originality, elegance, and intellectual power. For readers who have been persuaded that biologist have long since demonstrated the validity of Darwinian theory, (Behe"s) observations are apt to be a source of astonishment." David Berlinski, author of A Tour of the Calculus "(Behe's) talent for lively exposition...charmingly convey(s) a sense of biochemistry's hidden beauty." James Shreeve The New Your Times Book Review "Michael Behe has done a top-notch job of explaining and illuminating one of the most vexing problems in biology; the origin of the complexity that permeates all of life on this planet... This book should be on the essential reading list of all those who are interested in the question of where we came from, as it presents the most thorough and clever presentation of the design argument that I have seen." Robert Shapiro, author of Origins: As Skeptic's Guide to the Creation of Life on Earth. "A well-written and thoughtful statement of the biochemical challenge." Will St. John, Detroit Free Press "(A) valuable critique of an all-too-often unchallenged orthodoxy." James A Shapiro, National Review
