"Behe disproves evolution"
David Campbell (bivalve@mailserv0.isis.unc.edu)
Thu, 15 Jan 1998 19:37:56 -0400 Behe accepts quite a lot of biological evolution [defined by me as
descent with change, non-miraculous]. There's a lot of variation among the
amount of "undesigned" biological change accepted by ID adherents. At
least some misrepresentation (probably in large part due to
misunderstanding) of stances has taken place (e.g., "Behe proves YEC
views").
In addition to the poor communication that generates or reinforces
a gap theology in the minds of listeners, I'm not happy with much of ID
because I don't find it scientifically accurate. God can and does act
miraculously; however, a lot of the time, He acts in accord with the
physical laws He made. In much of the ID writing I have read, there is far
too much "This can't be by definition" to support a claim of being based on
scientific evidence.
