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.

Help for a Home

I'm recently homeless and trying to raise money for a deposit on an apartment. I intend to use this money for that and possibly a car repair, any more than that will be donated to The Opportunity Council here in Bellingham, Washington. The Opportunity Council helps low income and homeless people pay for energy, move-in costs, and other aids yet are chronically underfunded.

edit: I have a deposit partially paid, and I'm incredibly grateful for all of the help. My ex has decided to kick me viciously while I'm down, so some of any money donated may go for legal filing expenses in order that I see my kids. It has been months since last I saw them, and looks to be many months more. Again, thank you everyone for the help and encouragement, it matters more than I can ever describe adequately.
