Behe is not a scientist.

I always want to laugh when people refer to Michael Behe as a scientist. He isn't. A scientist makes an observation, questions the why and wherefore, comes up with a hypothesis that encompasses known facts and data, tests all possible facts and data (especially that which might disprove the hypothesis), and then reworks the hypothesis. Rinse. Repeat.

Behe does not, and never has, done this. He starts with a concept and then only includes data to support his preconceived notions. He has even admitted he only went to university in order to disprove evolution from the inside. It didn't work, of course.
