About the BioLogos Forum
Favorites
The BioLogos Forum is designed to foster a serious and comprehensive discussion of Christian faith and the sciences. We believe that charitable engagement of different perspectives within the Church helps sharpen our thinking and deepen our commitment to the truth that is hidden in Christ. So while many of the articles and videos under the distinctive Forum banner come from BioLogos staff and Senior Fellows, we feature a range of voices, including those that disagree with us and with each other. Unless otherwise noted, views expressed are those of the authors, not necessarily of The BioLogos Foundation. You can read more about what we believe here, and join the conversation in the comments section at the end of each post.
Behe, Lenski and the “Edge” of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to “Darwinian” evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.

Behe, Lenski and the “Edge” of Evolution, Part 1: Just the FCTs, Please
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to “Darwinian” evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Behe, Lenski and the “Edge” of Evolution, Part 2: Gaining a New Function
These long-awaited results are now available in a new paper published last month by the Lenski group, and they shed light on all three stages of the process.
Behe, Lenski and the “Edge” of Evolution, Part 3: Tinkering Over the Edge
Behe is right that numerous mutations occurring simultaneously are too rare to expect in evolution. What he has not demonstrated, however, is that evolution must proceed only by numerous mutations occurring simultaneously.
Behe, Lenski and the “Edge” of Evolution, Part 4: IC and Exaptation
In this post, we look at the implications of the Long Term Evolution Experiment (LTEE) for another of Behe’s related ideas: that of irreducible complexity.
Behe, Lenski and the “Edge” of Evolution, Part 5: Mixing and Matching
Behe paints a picture of molecular machines with highly specialized parts that cannot be used in other systems without “extensive” modification – and claims that without a designer, no new functions are possible. Yet what we see in nature looks rather different.
