Disclaimer: We will be discussing the differences between creationism, intelligent design, and evolution, which is important for everyone to know and understand. However, we will also be discussing falsehoods parents tell about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. If you don’t want your children to hear the truth about these fictional characters just yet, listen to this segment when they are out of ear shot.
Dr. Michael J. Behe is a Professor of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and is a Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture. When it comes to the lies students are told in public schools concerning evolution, creationism, and intelligent design, Dr. Behe says this: “Teaching evolution is essentially the Santa Clause story for schools.”
Dr. Behe also explains the difference between creationism and intelligent design. Yes, there is a difference! Listen in as he explains.

Back in 1996, Dr. Behe wrote a book on this very topic we are discussing today. Now, it is listed among the top 100 books of the 20th Century by World Magazine. In “Darwin’s Black Box”, Dr. Behe explains the mystery behind evolution and why so many people just blindly believe the lies of Darwin. Never mind the fact that no one has ever – ever – been able to prove his theory that the universe was formed from a single cell which advanced over time.
In fact, Dr. Behe points out that in newer research, “random mutation actually degrades cells – it doesn’t improve it!” Just look at the human eye…The human eye is so complicated and intricate that it could not possible have just formed one day from a single cell in a mud pit! Listen in as Dr. Behe explains in more detail.

In this final segment, Dr. Michael Behe finishes his explanation of what happened at the school district in Pennsylvania. The ACLU recruited parents to sue the school district concerning one simple book in the library – one little book! It wasn’t mandated reading material for every student in the school. It wasn’t even mandated for students in a particular class. It was simply a book in the library that discussed intelligent design. A judge ultimately ruled in favor of the parents and the ACLU, telling the district it was illegal to have the book in the school.
“Federal judges have very little influence on what nature is like. They can issue their rulings…but it is not something that they have a lot of influence over,” Dr. Behe says. Over the last ten years, scientists have a made a lot of advances in this area to disprove the theory of evolution. Dr. Behe goes on to say, “When we see things that are put together for a reason, this points to a specific design.” The same goes for the creation of the universe. It must have been “put together” by a designer, God. There is no other logical explanation.
