Greg Easterbrook is apparently he's also into "Intelligent Design". In a nutshell it's the idea that the universe was um, *poof*....evolve, evolve, evolve, by God, who left his calling card in the form of the exquisite beauty of his design, like in the hundreds of species of ticks in the world. It's more than a century later and they still can't deal with what Chuck told us. One proponent of ID is Michael Behe, who wrote a book positing Intelligent design is basically dressing up an old argument in scientific cloth, but as the prof notes:

In short, Behe has old wine in a new skin: the argument from design wrapped in biochemistry. His argument is no more scientific than any other variant of the argument from design. In fact, most scientists, including scientists who are Christians, think Behe should cease patting himself on the back. As with all other such arguments, Behe's begs the question. He must assume design in order to prove a designer.
