As reported in Inspire Magazine, Professor Michael Behe, a key figure in the Intelligent Design (ID) movement, will challenge his critics in a lecture tour of the UK in November.

Prof Behe is one of an increasing number of scientists who believe that modern biochemical evidence undermines the basis of Darwinian evolution.

The author of two ground-breaking books on ID - Darwin's Black Box (1996) and The Edge of Evolution (2007) - Behe's theory of irreducible complexity has drawn attacks from many neo-Darwinists, but not one of them has been able to refute it.

As Behe himself writes, in the years since the publication of 'Darwin's Black Box', "the As Behe himself writes, in the years since the publication of 'Darwin's Black Box', "the scientific argument for design is stronger than ever. Despite the enormous progress of biochemistry in the intervening years...despite implacable opposition from some scientists at the highest levels, the book's argument for design stands … there is very little of the original text I would change if I wrote it today.
