Oh, Dr. Behe! Poor man. The guy just can't buy respect in his own Amazon.com blog. He uses that page to vent his spleen on in a sexist ad hom attack on SA Smith, aka Abbie Smith, proprietor of ERV, the sassy and feisty female graduate student who knows quite a bit more about the evolution of HIV -- and integrity -- than does this unscientific ID scientist and professional liar.

His results? Not so good. Please read the comments, if you are in need of a nice cheering up.

He sure is, Fil. And just because SA Smith is young, a mere grad student, and female, and Behe thinks he can get away with being arrogantly abusive. Ha! She tore him a new cloaca.

(He probably didn't even know what those were, until he got one installed, the idiot.)

I loved this quote from Judge Jones in the Wiki article.
Professor Behe has applied the concept of irreducible complexity to only a few select systems: (1) the bacterial flagellum; (2) the blood-clotting cascade; and (3) the immune system. Contrary to Professor Behe's assertions with respect to these few biochemical systems among the myriad existing in nature, however, Dr. Miller presented evidence, based upon peer-reviewed studies, that they are not in fact irreducibly complex


Actually Behe must have mutliple cloacas by now, torn by both atheists and theists such as Jones and Miller. However, what he earns as a professional pious liar must make up for this. And he is the best that ID has to offer, it goes downhill from there.
