At that point, out of curiosity, I got a copy of Darwin’s Blackbox from the library. Frankly, that book changed the course of my life. Unlike any of the dozen or so YEC books I had read, Behe took the time to extensively discuss the objections to his work. After reading the book and going through his online articles, I was able to present a reasonably defensible case for intelligent design to the same evolutionary biologist who had shredded my creationist beliefs.
Oh dear...
If you're basing your "reasonably defensible case for intelligent design" on Behe's material, I'm afraid you've been misled.
Sure, it looks kind of solid at first blush if you're not really familiar with the topic or the underlying science, but I've read it and it's shot full of fallacies, flaws, and false claims.
If you'll tell us what you think are the very best 2-3 things Behe says that appear to you to be "reasonably defensible", we'll be glad to show you where and why he's actually just hand-waving. This might not be the most appropriate thread for that however, but feel free to start a new thread in the appropriate forum.
