The age of the earth is 4.5 billion years, give or take a percent or two. Agree or disagree?

Common descent gets a bit fuzzy in the transition from single celled to multi-celled organisms. Even among living things there are transitional critters.

But common descent means to a biologist that all the complex, multicelled, sexually reproducing organisms share a common lineage, a single family tree.

Agree or disagree?

Behe takes these things for granted.

Assuming Behe actually takes such a position, I would disagree with him. If he does take such a position, it is hardly distinguishable from Darwinian evolution. If so, why all the hate directed toward Behe?
