Bullet Points for Jerry Coyne

Alas, Coyne’s review of Darwin Devolves has too little intellectual content to sustain any real engagement. Read More ›

A Dentist in the Sahara: Doug Axe on the Rarity of Proteins Is Decisively Confirmed

In a previous article I described the evidence that cooption faces insurmountable mathematical challenges in explaining the origins of such complex molecular machines as the bacterial flagellum. Read More ›

Advances in Biology Discredit Argument that Cooption Can Explain Irreducible Complexity

One of most popular attempts at explaining the flagellum via cooption was developed by Nicholas Matzke. Read More ›

Behe’s New Video Course — No Spoilers Here

Let’s just say that Michael Behe’s latest work has further refined his edge of evolution, in a highly significant way. Intrigued? Read More ›

Dazzling Acts in the Cell Circus

If life didn’t depend on these acts by cellular organelles and molecules, we would consider them death-defying performances in the greatest show on earth. Read More ›

Irreducible Complexity in Molecular Machine Assembly

We know that many molecular machines are irreducibly complex in their operation. Even more IC is the process of assembling them in the cell. Read More ›
