Lents and Hunt: Behe And The Polar Bear's Fat

Special thanks to @Art for catching this. I have to confess that I simply took Behe at his word regarding the evolution of polar bears involving mostly protein-damaging mutations. It’s his opening example. It’s the way that he chooses to introduce us to his concept of “devolution.” This example would have to be air-tight, right? I stayed up until 230a last night reading the Cell paper very carefully because I just couldn’t believe that Behe would be this careless. I’m almost HOPING Art and I wrong here because it can’t be this bad, can it?
