Michael Behe cytaty

Michael J. Behe – amerykański biochemik, krytyk neodarwinizmu, przedstawiciel nurtu inteligentnego projektu.

Doktorat z biochemii uzyskał w 1978 roku na Uniwersytecie Stanowym w Pensylwanii. Obecnie jest profesorem biologii na Wydziale Nauk Biologicznych Uniwersytetu Lehigh w Bethlehem w stanie Pensylwania[potrzebny przypis].

W 1996 r. opublikował Czarną skrzynkę Darwina , w której rozwinął koncepcję nieredukowalnej złożoności wielu układów biologicznych, która to koncepcja wedle niego jest świadectwem istnienia inżynieryjnej myśli odpowiedzialnej za powstanie organizmów. Behe specjalizuje się w strukturze białek i kwasów nukleinowych, jest autorem około 35 artykułów w fachowych czasopismach, jak: "Journal of Molecular Biology", "Nucleic Acids Research", "Biochemistry", "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA", "Biophysical Journal" i innych[potrzebny przypis].

Hipotezy Behego o nieredukowalnej złożoności kluczowych struktur komórkowych są kontestowane przez społeczność naukową, włącznie z jego własnym Department of Biological Sciences Uniwerystetu Lehigh.

Michael Behe: Cytaty po angielsku

“Molecular evolution is not based on scientific authority.. . . There are assertions that such evolution occurred, but absolutely none are supported by pertinent experiments or calculations. Since no one knows molecular evolution by direct experience, and since there is no authority on which to base claims of knowledge, it can truly be said that. . . the assertion of Darwinian molecular evolution is merely bluster.”

Darwin’s Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution (1996)

“If you search the scientific literature on evolution, and if you focus your search on the question of how molecular machines—the basis of life—developed, you find an eerie and complete silence. The complexity of life’s foundation has paralyzed science’s attempt to account for it; molecular machines raise an as-yet-impenetrable barrier to Darwinism’s universal reach.”

“The result of [the] cumulative efforts to investigate the cell—to investigate life at the molecular level—is a loud, clear, piercing cry of ‘design!’ The result is so unambiguous and so significant that it must be ranked as one of the greatest achievements in the history of science. The discovery rivals those of Newton and Einstein, Lavoisier and Schrödinger, Pasteur, and Darwin. The observation of the intelligent design of life is as momentous as the observation that the earth goes around the sun.”

“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.”

“Many people, including many important and well-respected scientists, just don’t want there to be anything beyond nature. They don’t want a supernatural being to affect nature.”

“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.”

“As the number of unexplained, irreducibly complex biological systems increases, our confidence that Darwin’s criterion of failure has been met skyrockets toward the maximum that science allows.”

“The strong appearance of design [in nature] allows a disarmingly simple argument: if it looks, walks and quacks like a duck, then, absent compelling evidence to the contrary, we have warrant to conclude it's a duck. Design should not be overlooked simply because it's so obvious.”

“If a theory claims to be able to explain some phenomenon, but does not generate even an attempt at an explanation, then it should be banished.”

“... I have no reason to doubt that the universe is the billions of years old that physicists say it is. Further, I find the idea of common descent (that all organisms share a common ancestor) fairly convincing, and have no reason to doubt it. ... I think that evolutionary biologists have contributed enormously to our understanding of the world. Although Darwin's mechanism - natural selection working on variation - might explain many things, however, I do not believe it explains molecular life.”
