Description
Darwin's Black Box sparked intense debate in 1996, catapulting Lehigh University biochemist Michael Behe into the national spotlight. His subsequent responses to criticism are now collected in A Mousetrap for Darwin. Behe extends his argument that recent evidence from microbial evolution and genetic mutations in dogs and polar bears suggests blind evolution cannot build complex machinery essential to life. Instead, evolution works by breaking things for short-term benefit, rather than constructing fundamentally new structures. This book presents Behe's case, along with new essays, as he engages with his critics. A Mousetrap for Darwin offers a thought-provoking exploration of the limits of blind evolution and the potential role of intelligent design in explaining life's complexity.
