Biologist Dan Stern Cardinale, at Rutgers University, really stepped in it by challenging biochemist Michael Behe and calling him a liar. Professor Behe responded today with a post on “Comparative Biology, Invincible Ignorance.” Stern Cardinale has kept digging himself in deeper. He contacted our colleague Cornelius Hunter, challenging Dr. Hunter to defend the “three biggest lies” that Stern Cardinale claims to find in an article by Behe at Evolution News.

I’m cracking up at Part 2 of Dr. Cornelius Hunter’s droll response to the “evolution professor,” whom he doesn’t name but is in fact Dan Stern Cardinale (aka Dr. Dan) of Rutgers University. (See here for Part 1.) Dr. Stern Cardinale had released a video calling biologist Michael Behe a liar, to which Hunter responds now, again, by showing where in fact it’s Stern Cardinale who “goes off.” This time on the evolution of bat wings.

“It is a serious accusation,” says Dr. Cornelius Hunter in a video response to Professor Dan Stern Cardinale, who declares in a video of his own, “Michael Behe is DEFINITELY Lying.” Not just “definitely lying,” mind you, but “DEFINITELY lying,” because when someone goes for the all caps option, you know he’s really serious. Stern Cardinale, a biologist at Rutgers University, was responding to an article by Professor Behe at Evolution News (“Darwinism Is a Potemkin Theory of Evolution”).

There’s a story about biologist Richard Sternberg that he told me after it was too late to include in my new book about his thinking, Plato’s Revenge: The New Science of the Immaterial Genome. By that point, we were too far along in the final editing, so the tale escaped from me, at least as far as the book was concerned. Here it is. My work on the book began, in a sense, 20 years ago when I reported in the Wall Street Journal on a “scandal” at the Smithsonian Institution.

Editor’s note: We are glad to offer an excerpt from the first pages of the new book from Discovery Institute Press, Plato’s Revenge: The New Science of the Immaterial Genome, by David Klinghoffer. My view is not the view that most people have of intelligent design.
