The Edge of Evolution

release date: Jun 17, 2008
The Edge of Evolution
Draws on new findings in genetics to pose an argument for intelligent design that refutes Darwinian beliefs about evolution while offering alternative analyses of such factors as disease, random mutations, and the human struggle for survival.

Darwin's Black Box

release date: Mar 13, 2006
Darwin's Black Box
Darwin’s Black Box helped to launch the Intelligent Design movement: the argument that nature exhibits evidence of design, beyond Darwinian randomness. Today, with the movement stronger than ever, Michael J. Behe updates the book with an important new Afterword on the state of the debate. —Time Naming Darwin’s Black Box to the National Review’s list of the 100 most important nonfiction works of the twentieth century, George Gilder wrote that it “overthrows Darwin at the end of the twentieth 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.

Darwin Devolves

release date: Feb 26, 2019
Darwin Devolves
The scientist who has been dubbed the “Father of Intelligent Design” and author of the groundbreaking book Darwin’s Black Box contends that recent scientific discoveries further disprove Darwinism and strengthen the case for an intelligent creator. In his controversial bestseller Darwin’s Black Box, biochemist Michael Behe challenged Darwin’s theory of evolution, arguing that science itself has proven that intelligent design is a better explanation for the origin of life. In Darwin Devolves, Behe advances his argument, presenting new research that offers a startling reconsideration of how Darwin’s mechanism works, weakening the theory’s validity even more. A system of natural selection acting on random mutation, evolution can help make something look and act differently. But evolution never creates something organically. Behe contends that Darwinism actually works by a process of devolution—damaging cells in DNA in order to create something new at the lowest biological levels. This is important, he makes clear, because it shows the Darwinian process cannot explain the creation of life itself. “A process that so easily tears down sophisticated machinery is not one which will build complex, functional systems,” he writes. In addition to disputing the methodology of Darwinism and how it conflicts with the concept of creation, Behe reveals that what makes Intelligent Design unique—and right—is that it acknowledges causation. Evolution proposes that organisms living today are descended with modification from organisms that lived in the distant past. But Intelligent Design goes a step further asking, what caused such astounding changes to take place? What is the reason or mechanism for evolution? For Behe, this is what makes Intelligent Design so important.

La boîte noire de Darwin
Et si Darwin s''était trompé ? Selon Michael Behe, le père de l''Intelligent Design, les découvertes les plus récentes dans le domaine de la biochimie démontrent que les mécanismes de base de la vie sont le résultat d''une conception intelligente. Vendu à des centaines de milliers d''exemplaires, cet ouvrage a créé un débat qui n''est pas prêt de s''arrêter. L''oeuvre de Darwin tourne autour d''une question : les êtres vivants sont-ils le résultat de forces naturelles comme le hasard et la sélection ou ont-ils été créés séparément par un Concepteur ? Darwin a montré que les caractéristiques des êtres vivants s''accordent bien mieux avec la première hypothèse. Mais Darwin et ses successeurs ignoraient tout du contenu de la cellule. Elle était pour eux une " boîte noire " dont le contenu leur semblait très simple. Depuis quelques décennies, les mécanismes de bases de la vie sont de mieux en mieux connus. L''auteur nous emmène dans un voyage extraordinaire au coeur de l''infiniment petit. Il multiplie les exemples montrant que des processus aveugles et non programmés ne peuvent rendre compte de l''apparition et du développement d''un grand nombre de mécanismes de base de la biochimie grâce auxquels la vie existe. Cela le conduit à réintroduire l''hypothèse que Darwin et ses successeurs avaient cru pouvoir éliminer, selon laquelle la vie, comme toute technologie, serait le résultat d''une conception intelligente. Il ne s''agit en aucune façon de soutenir un créationnisme naïf, l''auteur croit totalement en l''existence d''un ancêtre commun à tous les êtres vivants. Il ne s''agit pas non plus d''un retour en arrière, puisque cette conclusion est basée sur les résultats les plus récents des sciences de la vie, et non pas sur leur négation comme c''est le cas chez les créationnistes.
