Michael Behe’s Amazon Blog

William Dembski

Behe’s Amazon blog was noted in comments at UD, but it deserves top billing: go here. Refer to it as the negative reviews of The Edge of Evolution keep coming out from the Darwinian materialists.

Behe takes coyne to task:

Frankly, it’s astounding that a prominent academic evolutionary biologist like Coyne hides behind the judicial skirts of the former head of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. If Coyne himself can’t explain how Darwinism can cope with the challenges The Edge of Evolution cites, how could a non-scientist judge?

How I wish I were a cartoonist.

1. Judge Jones wearing a skirt holding a bottle of liquor

2. Jerry Coyne hiding behind the skirt

For what it’s worth, even Jason Rosenhouse (of PandasThumb) thought Coyne’s review was horrid. He said, “Coyne lays an egg”.

I wish Michael Behe would disable the comment section of his blog.

John Kwak and other Darwinists are just spamming his blog with trash.

Bill,
What did you expect? The way materialists deal with opposition is revealing of the religious nature of their beliefs.
We just can’t argue with people who just don’t accept the fact that there are learned scientists who don’t agree with them.

This Darwinian modus operandi is endemic. Even in my beloved Lisbon they act exacly the same way.

Here’s what I got from the reviews:
1. ID is dressed up creationism.
2. Kwok is condescending.
3. The type III secretory system proves IC wrong.
4. Dawkins feels bad for Behe
5. ID is unscientific
6. Dawkins should have gotten a Ph.D in English rather than biology.
7. A scientific renegade (Behe) is wrong simply because he is in the minority (courtesy of Dawkins).
I ended up learning more about the character of Darwinists than Behe.

These guys are doing Behe a favor without realizing it, because they are betraying panic and desperation in the face of evidence and well-reasoned argumentation.

Is it John Kwak, John Kwok or John Quack ?

The problem with John Kwok and people like him is that they think they are important and credible. It is really funny because they apparently think that their attacks on Behe’s book requires a response from him, and they’re so convinced that they’d refuted the book. They view the fact that Behe simply ignored them as “intellectual dishonesty” and a proof that Behe doesn’t care about science.
That’s hilarious.

There is a phenomena that deserves a name but it is “the last post wins.”

If one is having an exchange on the intenet with someone or are responding to a point raised by another, they are often essentially unresponsive to what you say even if you address their issues. Then if you decide to stop, they will then post and say you have been beaten. They fail to realize that the more adult behavior is to stop participatation in their foolishness.

In their minds if they post last then they have felt they have won or if someone does not respond to their inanity, they will also proclaim that they have won the argument. There is also a premium on cleverness or the art of the put down as self delusions that they have won.

More today on Behe’s blog covering his cage match with Coyne. He’s posted 2 out of 3 parts of his response to Coyne’s objections.

Behe currently has Coyne in a headlock, and is delivering the dreaded noogie.
