Intelligent Design

Not one to pass up flogging a scourge, Richard Dawkins takes on Michael Behe's new book The Edge of Evolution in the New York Times Book Review today. In the review, Dawkins defends science instead of proclaiming atheism or attacking religion. It seems that this is the best way to defend evolution and discount intelligent design: ask where's the evidence and where's the consensus? Dawkins rightly points out that Behe's stand has created a lucrative niche for himself on the speaking circuit. His books have surely found an audience.
