Behe, a Senior Fellow and Professor of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University in Pennsylvani, claims that various systems would not operate any more if one were to remove any one piece of the system. Any agreement with Behe's assessment places me squarely against the claim that evolution has been tested and explained in relation to various organic systems that could not have evolved one step at a time.

Behe? I'm sorry, I've gone through the process of tracking down his statements and counterstatements and what I came to (as have other
rational folks) is that he changes the markers of what is irreducible and is not honest in his motives. He makes statements that he is not interested in proving the validity of any specific 'higher power' yet that does not jibe with how he addresses the Creationists and IDers.
