But sequence comparisons simply can’t account for the development of complex biochemical systems any more than Darwin’s comparison of simple and complex eyes told him how vision worked.  (Michael Behe Quotes) Biology has progressed tremendously due to the model that Darwin put forth. But the black boxes Darwin accepted are now being opened, and our view of the world is again being shaken  (Michael Behe Quotes) But sequence comparisons simply can’t account for the development of complex biochemical systems any more than Darwin’s comparison of simple and complex eyes told him how vision worked  (Michael Behe Quotes) The question of how the eye works - that is, what happens when a photon of light first impinges on the retina - simply could not be answered at that time  (Michael Behe Quotes) Throughout history there have been many other examples, similar to that of Haeckel, Huxley and the cell, where a key piece of a particular scientific puzzle was beyond the understanding of the age  (Michael Behe Quotes) As can be seen even by this limited number of examples proteins carry out amazingly diverse functions  (Michael Behe Quotes) This fact immediately suggested a singular event - that at some time in the distant past the universe began expanding from an extremely small size. To many people this inference was loaded with overtones of a supernatural event - the creation, the beginning of the universe  (Michael Behe Quotes) Despite some remaining puzzles, there’s no reason to doubt that Darwin had this point right, that all creatures on earth are biological relatives  (Michael Behe Quotes) Under my definition, a scientific theory is a proposed explanation which focuses or points to physical, observable data and logical inferences. There are many things throughout the history of science which we now think to be incorrect which nonetheless would fit that which would fit that definition. Yes, astrology is in fact one  (Michael Behe Quotes) In private many scientists admit that science has no explanation for the beginning of life.... Darwin never imagined the exquisitely profound complexity that exists even at the most basic levels of life.  (Michael Behe Quotes) In many biological structures proteins are simply components of larger molecular machines  (Michael Behe Quotes) The theory of undirected evolution is already dead, but the work of science continues  (Michael Behe Quotes) It is often said that science must avoid any conclusions which smack of the supernatural  (Michael Behe Quotes) Skin is made in large measure of a protein called collagen  (Michael Behe Quotes) The basic structure of proteins is quite simple: they are formed by hooking together in a chain discrete subunits called amino acids  (Michael Behe Quotes) We can look high or we can look low in books or in journals, but the result is the same. The scientific literature has no answers to the question of the origin of the immune system  (Michael Behe Quotes) I believe the evidence strongly supports common descent. But the root question remains unanswered: What has caused complex systems to form?  (Michael Behe Quotes) The conclusion of design flows naturally from the data; we should not shrink from it; we should embrace it and build on it  (Michael Behe Quotes) In private many scientists admit that science has no explanation for the beginning of life... Darwin never imagined the exquisitely profound complexity that exists even at the most basic levels of life  (Michael Behe Quotes) The point here is that physics followed the data where it seemed to lead, even though some thought the model gave aid and comfort to religion  (Michael Behe Quotes) Since natural selection requires a function to select, an irreducibly complex biological system, if there is such a thing, would have to arise as an integrated unit for natural selection to have anything to act on  (Michael Behe Quotes) Proteins are the machinery of living tissue that builds the structures and carries out the chemical reactions necessary for life  (Michael Behe Quotes) It was only about sixty years ago that the expansion of the universe was first observed  (Michael Behe Quotes) It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of life cannot be ascribed to natural selection, and therefore were designed. But we must deal with our shock as best we can and go on  (Michael Behe Quotes) In the 19th century the anatomy of the eye was known in great detail and the sophisticated mechanisms it employs to deliver an accurate picture of the outside world astounded everyone who was familiar with them  (Michael Behe Quotes) In order to say that some function is understood, every relevant step in the process must be elucidated  (Michael Behe Quotes) We are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to account for an open box  (Michael Behe Quotes) Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted  (Michael Behe Quotes) It was a shock to people of the nineteenth century when they discovered, from observations science had made, that many features of the biological world could be ascribed to the elegant principle of natural selection  (Michael Behe Quotes) A man from a primitive culture who sees an automobile might guess that it was powered by the wind or by an antelope hidden under the car, but when he opens up the hood and sees the engine he immediately realizes that it was designed  (Michael Behe Quotes)
