Again, articulating a credible opposing argument is not a refutation. It is an opposing argument. I am not sure why a credible opposing argument is so broadly accepted as a "refutation" on this forum. If someone were to prove that Behe's argument is either 1) not possible (as opposed to arguing that complex structures might have been generated by serial mutation), or 2) at odds with fact, it would be refuted. To my knowledge, no one has done that. A number of competent folks have offered credible defenses of the standard dogma.

I have not watched the program. I will look at it.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
