From ResearchID.org, a nexus for researching Intelligent Design
Michael Behe was born in 1952, graduated from Drexel University in 1974 with a B.S. in Chemistry, and recieved his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Pennslylvania in 1978. He is currently a professor of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania.His work on Irreducible Complexity, culiminating with the publication of Darwin's Black Box: The biochemical challenge to evolution, made a huge impact on the intelligent design community. The major thesis of this work is that there are certain aspects of the cell which are irreducibly complex and therefore could not have come about by the series of "successive, slight modifications" required by Darwinian mechanisms.
