ABSTRACT

The article focuses on the equation of author Michael Behe of Intelligent Design with the Big Bang theory. Behe admits that Intelligent Design as a scientific theory has no explanation for how the process happened. Behe has acknowledged that he has no mechanism to identify how the intelligent design of biochemical systems can be explained, let alone tested.
