Michael James Behe

Michael James Behe is an American biochemist and intelligent design advocate, known for his criticism of traditional evolutionary theory. He argues that some complex biological structures, like the bacterial flagellum, are too intricate to have evolved solely through natural selection, suggesting they may result from an "intelligent cause." Behe's ideas have sparked debate between scientists who support Darwinian evolution and those who favor alternative explanations. His work primarily appears in the field of molecular biology and has influenced discussions on the origins of complex biological systems.
