The prosecution’s lawyers for the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, “Intelligent” Design trial deserve a fee raise. They have elicited testimony from Michael Behe in which he counters his own theory of Irreducible Complexity, raised in his deeply-flawed 1996 book Darwin’s Black Box. The theory states that G-d must have designed the universe because there are biochemical systems which cannot be broken down into smaller functioning systems infinitely. Wikipedia tears that apart nicely, and so does Talk Design. TD’s Behe faq is here.

“Dispatches from the Culture Wars” explains what happened quite eloquently. Transcript is here. (pdf) The good bits start on page 42.
