  • A response that says "Look at these micro-evolutionary results!" is a weak response, as it presents nothing that contradicts Behe's position.

  • The ability to differentiate an Intelligently Designed bio-warfare attack, from a natural, micro-evolutionary adaptation would be critical in any time-sensitive focus and direction of resources … from not just the medical community, but DoD, Intelligence, and Law Enforcement agencies …

  • First, it puts them in the uncomfortable position of aligning themselves with ultra-Darwinian pan-selectionists, who not only have clear dibs on who first expressed skepticism at the existence of “junk DNA”, but also can explain why all DNA should be functional based on a much more elegant and parsimonious theory based on straightforward, “micro-evolutionary” negative selection effects that even the most close-minded ID advocates would find hard to argue against.

  • What they don't tell you --- don't dare make you more-cognizant of, particularly if you're a religious fundamentalist who detests micro-evolutionary theory --- is that the antibiotic immediately begins to select for resistant bacteria almost as a side-effect of its very discovery.

  • # This model can account for both the micro-evolutionary events that are studied by biochemists and the long-term patterns of protein evolution that are observed by evolutionary biologists

    Critique of Behe and Snoke Available - The Panda's Thumb 2005

  • In this view, four evolutionary forces (mutation, random genetic drift, natural selection, and gene flow) acting within and among populations cause micro-evolutionary change and these processes are sufficient to account for macro-evolutionary patterns, which arise in the longer term from the collective action of these forces.
