THE EDGE OF EVOLUTION by Micheal Behe

While I am at it I may as well record that I have recently read THE EDGE OF EVOLUTION by Michael Behe. This is Behe's follow-up book to the instrumental DARWIN'S BLACK BOX. In this new book Behe demonstrates, chiefly from studying Malaria, how far we can expect evolution to operate. The many thousands of generations of Malaria witnessed over the course of human history is proof that darwinian evolution is incapable of producing large changes. For example, Malaria has not been able to overcome the Sickle-Cell variant in humans, nor has it been able to adapt itself to cold climates.

He gives the example of the bacterial flagellum to demonstrate an organic system that is clearly beyond the edge of evolution. Go to the Protonic Nanomachine Project site for more information.

Very well written, replete with lucid examples. Highly recommended.
