Layman alert — I agree that the concept of light sensitive cells is possible. In fact, I think Darwin was brilliant for suggesting that. I could envision a simple light sensitive nerve cell evolving over time. Coulter’s point about the eye did not impress me. I’ll grant you that.
As for Behe being outdated, thank you for that, but there’s still the problem of evolutionists’ reaction to his findings. I think that, in hindsight, was Coulter’s main point. Evolutionists lashed out at Behe when he formed those conclusions. Her point is, after all, that evolution is part of the Godless Religion [although many good Christians are also evolutionists].
Behe’s discovery would have been blocked in schools for questioning evolution. Lawsuits would have been filed by the ACLU. That’s the only point I’m trying to make. We need to allow people to think beyond dogma and convention. Freedom. And anyone who thinks people are ‘too dumb’ to understand evolution is full of baloney.
Behe is the creationists' worst enemy. Behe believes god is dead.
