Mike,
​
A fallacious argument isn't an untrue argument.
​
There is no compelling reason to accept it as true, either. That's rather the point of showing a fallacious argument. A fallacious argument is moot.
​
Nevertheless, I don't see how Behe made any mistakes. It's far more logical to see intelligent design, in intelligent design. It's the simplest explanation according to the priniciple of parsimony.
​
Behe's mistake was that he made an unwarranted conclusion from an unwarranted assumption. He failed to show IC is unevolvable, which his conclusions require.
​
Invoking a deity is not the most parsimonious explanation. An explanation that requires the "rules" of chemistry & physics that we observe today would be the most parsimonious.

Re: Good Anti-Evolutionists books..
Truth,
​
I've listened to some of his material and they are actually very factual.
​
And you have independently verified his material as being factual how, exactly? Sounds more like you want to believe it as being factual, rather than have found it to be "factual". The guy is a prick of the highest calibre.
​
I support Chiroptera's suggestion that you pick your very, very best Hovind argument & defend it in a new thread. Expect to be made a fool of, though, this is grist for the mill
