Unit of life 1

We are now in the most exciting time ever to be a biologist! So says Dr. Michael Behe, a biochemist who "studies the molecules of life." Stunning breakthroughs are revealing so much about the most fundamental unit of life.

That's what a cell is, the smallest unit that can be said to be alive.

While conducting post-doctoral research at the NIH, both he and his post-doc partner questioned how the amazingly complex living cell could have developed by accumulations of undirected changes - i.e., by Darwinian evolution. But, they supposed, somebody must understand how the first, original cell evolved!

Ten years later, he had found no answer to his question. All the science he read assumed that there was an evolutionary answer, or that there would be . . assumed it. 

Then he read Evolution: Theory in Crisis. Author and molecular biologist Michael Denton shared his doubts and added some more.
