Yet, as physicist David Snoke and I have shown, Darwin’s mechanism of random mutation and natural selection strains to explain even the very simplest molecular example of cooperation (called a “disulfide bond”). Michael Behe, “Here’s How to Tell if Scientists are Exaggerating” at The Stream

Yet we are told that Darwinism explains all the complex machinery.
