Behe's response to Lenski's first post

As I noted earlier in after Behe’s first response to Lenski nobody could say anything substantial.
Behe summarizes his first response as follows.

The APOB gene of polar bears is mutated with changes that were predicted by computer methods to be damaging. A 1995 study showed that a mouse model that had one copy of the APOB gene knocked out actually had lower plasma cholesterol levels and increased resistance to hypercholesterolemia from a high fat diet. If the polar bear mutations acted to lower the activity of its own APOB, a result similar to that for the mouse might be expected. Thus there is no good reason to speculate about new functions

Nobody said anything substantial to this.

Here. Bottom line - Behe’s implications about APOB are unsupported and do not stand up to any sort of scrutiny.

Also, Behe ducks the matter of his misrepresentation of Liu et al.
