Michael Behe

American biochemist at Lehigh University — author of Darwin's Black Box and The Edge of Evolution — the most prominent scientific advocate of intelligent design — who argues that irreducible complexity in biochemical systems cannot be explained by Darwinian evolution.

Creates the irreducible complexity argument for intelligent design — Behe's argument (that certain biochemical systems, like the bacterial flagellum, require all their parts to function and therefore cannot have evolved gradually) is the most technically specific scientific argument against neo-Darwinism.
