Even though the evolutionary literature contains discussions of multiple mutations (5), Darwinian reviewers drew back in horror, acted as if I had blasphemed, and argued desperately that a series of single beneficial mutations certainly could do the trick. Now here we have Richard Lenski affirming that the evolution of some pretty simple cellular features likely requires multiple mutations. If the development of many of the features of the cell required multiple mutations during the course of evolution, then the cell is beyond Darwinian explanation. I show in The Edge of Evolution that it is very reasonable to conclude they did.[/quote] From Behe Ermmm...well, it was measured, observed, and proved in the experiment that the features of the cell required multiple mutations here in the course of evolution. Obviously it is explained well by Darwinian Evolution. As DL pointed out, Behe is confused. That is not news, however, and I think that he is really having problems with this new finding. Of course, all Creationists/ID supporters will. Lovin' it!
