Revolutionary: Michael Behe and the Mystery of Molecular Machines

As we know, random changes and unguided natural processes routinely succeed in assembling functional equipment for a range of uses. Wait…it doesn’t work that way?

I would love to help promote this on my channel. Behe actually inspired me to go into molecular biology. I now have two biotech degrees.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn on the Danger of Forgetting God

More than half a century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.

Since then I have spent well-nigh fifty years working on the history of our [Russian] revolution. In the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort to clear away the rubble left by that upheaval.

But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some sixty-million people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.

Brilliant work Discovery Institute. I'm impressed by your resilience in face of the massive opposition. When the next generation has matured, evolution will be overturned as dogma--a reformation of sorts. Books will be written on your diligence and tenacity. You're heroes.

Behe is da man no matter how you look at the issue.

[RobertoPradoF]

Excellent, Dr. Behe! Darwin's Black Box was the first book I read about Intelligent Design and it completely changed my perspective of life.

I almost bypassed this video thinking it was going to say the same things I've heard before, but I was wrong. It was one of the best videos or shows I've seen this entire year from anywhere. Thank you for posting this excellent information. I did not know the court case was so skewed by a prejudicial judge. The supporting information was quite informative even for someone who has studied molecular cell biology.

« Intelligent Design is not science...»
Well, I feel sorry for the guys who made my computer...

Wow, I love this video . It just opened my eyes

[mousasaab]

I remember watching a silent video of ATP synthase simulation in the 5th grade. I was raised Muslim and began having serious doubts about religion since I tended to question everything, I felt shameful too. I also questioned evolution. The moment I watched that video I knew there is no possible way that any structure this complex could ever be brought by natural selection. ITS NANOMACHINES. WE ARE MADE OF NANOMACHINES (metaphorically we’re more complex than any nanomachines scientists can make today). Its extraordinary to think that not everyone find this fascinating or revolutionary. And it’s exactly why I’m so drawn to biology.

I used to be really into engineering as a kid, but it got stale. Instead the human body is so complex that it never gets stale and that’s why I love learning about it.

Greek education has gradually embraced the Ape theory with enthusiasm. This is the third video of its kind, for which a group of friends has prepared Greek subtitles, in the hope many of our compatriots will snap out of this modern, disorienting Darwinian mythology.... My heartfelt congratulations to Michael Behe, Stephen Meyer and a few other enlightened souls !!!

[duke-swtmate]

It is so ridiculous... Why can't we teach about the theory of evolution critically in schools? Why is it that supporters of intelligent design are objects of defamation etc.? It is because of the atheistic dogma of evolutionism...

Richard Dawkins wants us to climb Mount Probability.
It's actually Mount Improbability and goes nowhere.

[jarofclay]

Darwin has convinced me that intelligent design exist

[George-cyyz]

We haven't even begun to scratch the surface of complexity in all of it's manifestations. Someday Darwin will be a curious footnote in the history of human thought.

[bobjohnson]

I have been saying and thinking over the last 15 years or so, much of what science is now is thought control, or thought leading. It takes on people with presuppositions and uses them to explain only more clearly what they already suppose instead of looking at something in a raw way and only explaining where it lead in an objective way. Great video.

[sonidodealerta]

If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. But I can find no such case.
Charles Darwin.

[sumautomation]

Yup, I'm reminded " seek and you will find" and " all of this life's suffering is because of our lack of understanding" . I must say I believe St Francis understanding in that " what your looking for is what is looking ".
This world and thing we call life is truly an amazing miracle. Yes, how anyone could not believe in a creator, is beyond me.

[chrisneeds]

darwinism is not science

it's political double-speak

[filiusvivam]

Irreducibly complex systems. Purposeful/Functional Arrangement of Parts. Great discussion.

[CPHSDC]

Been watching these for the last few days. This is the best summary as it shows the legal system interfering with thought. I used to use lasers to open blockages in the arteries below the knees so I wouldn't have to cut the leg off. Once in a while, all that technology was supplemented with a prayer, including mine.
