Summary
The groundbreaking, “seminal work” on intelligent design that dares to ask, was Darwin wrong?
In 1996, Darwin’s Black Box helped to launch the intelligent design movement: the argument that nature exhibits evidence of design, beyond Darwinian randomness.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A persuasive book. It will speak to the layman and perhaps even to professional evolutionists as well, if they are able to suspend for a little while their own judgment about origins, the ultimate black box.” – The Washington Times“An argument of great originality, elegance, and intellectual power… . No one can propose to defend Darwin without meeting the challenges set out in this superbly written and compelling book.” – David Berlinski, author of A Tour of the Calculus“Overthrows Darwin at the end of the twentieth century in the same way that quantum theory overthrew Newton at the beginning.” – George Gilder in National Review”[Behe] is the most prominent of the small circle of scientists working on intelligent design, and his arguments are by far the best known.” – H. Allen Orr in The New Yorker“When examined with the powerful tools of modern biology, but not with its modern prejudices, life on a biochemical level can be a product, Behe says, only of intelligent design. Coming from a practicing biologist… this proposition is close to heretical.” – The New York Times Book Review
