Michael Behe and His Critics

Yes. That is commendable (placing links in their articles which risk taking readers to websites with opposing views.) I don’t think I’ve ever seen Answers in Genesis do that, even when quoting from and criticizing other websites and organizations. Indeed, if ENV readers follow the link to Dr. Gauger’s comments, they will also be able to read Dr. Swamidass’ follow-up, including this post:

I am still hopeful that Dr. Gauger’s very helpful participation on Peaceful Science will lead to Drs. Behe and Axe joining us as well. Yes, answering critics through one’s books and articles is important but there is nothing quite like a “real time” dialogue between scientists in an active on-line forum.

Moreover, when Christ-followers of very different positions on origins-matters courteously dialogue and peacefully disagree in public forums, we stand in sharp contrast to the most divisive conflicts which many tend to associate with Christians. So the value is not just in the science. There is great value in how we do and discuss the science.
