Theory of Intelligent Design explains origin of species

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is widely accepted by scientists, but some bio-chemists support another theory explaining the origin of species.

Doctor Michael Behe has written two books on the Theory of Intelligent Design. The theory suggests elements in nature can be better explained by a purposeful design.

Behe explains the theory by comparing it to a presidential monument. “Anybody walking by Mount Rushmore would realize that it wasn’t just wind and erosion and rain and so on that shaped those faces, but some intelligent being had to face it.”

Behe contends that the same is true on a molecular level. He says the design of the cells are so intricate and dependent on one another, some being must have designed them.

Behe will hold a discussion on intelligent design at UNCW Thursday at 7:00 pm.
