About this listen
Naming Darwin's Black Box to the National Review's list of the 100 most important nonfiction works of the 20th century, George Gilder wrote that it "overthrows Darwin at the end of the 20th century in the same way that quantum theory overthrew Newton at the beginning".
Discussing the book in the New Yorker in May 2005, H. Allen Orr said of Behe, "He is the most prominent of the small circle of scientists working on intelligent design, and his arguments are by far the best known." From one end of the spectrum to the other, Darwin's Black Box has established itself as the key text in the Intelligent Design movement - the one argument that must be addressed in order to determine whether Darwinian evolution is sufficient to explain life as we know it, or not.
For this edition, Behe has written a major new Afterword tracing the state of the debate in the decade since it began. It is his first major new statement on the subject and will be welcomed by the thousands who wish to continue this intense debate.

Amazing arguments
I loved the explanation and comparisons but feel there should be a short version for non-scientists and/or teenagers being taught evolution as a fact rather than an outdated theory. It could be 50% shorter and still achieve stating the argument clearly … additionally the voice/ pitch/ tone was monotonous especially in some sections.

Brilliant and provocative
Michael Behe is obviously a great teacher. His explanations and analogies helpfully lead to deepen our understanding. I have had a long and serious interest in molecular biology and Professor Behe has clearly and concisely packaged a way of making sense of the brilliant design we find in all life. In the nearly 30 years since he wrote this book, the intuitions he has demonstrated have become clearer with each biochemical paper published. Any serious student of science should engage with the structured thoughts expressed so clearly in this book and let them erode much of the smug certitude of the assumptions we imbibe during our education.
