Michael Behe 1996

 Launched the Intelligent Design Movement  Nature exhibits evidence of design beyond Darwinian randomness (link to Dawkin’s ‘Blind Watchmaker’ 1985)  Is Darwinian evolution sufficient in its explanation of life today?  Problem: Behe assumes that because we cannot explain all micro systems now.. That it never will!  The Elephant analogy

 Man crushed flat as a pancake on the floor in his apartment  Big grey elephant stood in the room  Police searching for clues, staring at the floor... Crawling around looking endlessly  This is what we are trained to do... We miss the elephant out entirely... Although it is there in the room for all to see
