If you were to zoom in super closely on a bacterial flagellum\u2014a tail-like structure that provides movement to bacteria\u2014you would see that this feature is astoundingly similar to a boat\u2019s motor in its components and function. It consists of a tiny propeller, a drive shaft connecting the propeller to the motor, clamps to hold the motor to the cell membrane as it turns, a mechanism to turn the motor via flow of acids, and dozens of other tiny mechanical parts. According to Michael Behe, this example of \u201cpurposeful arrangement of parts\u201d is hallmark to design. Behe is a PhD, author, and professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University who focuses primarily on the evolution of complex biochemical systems.

He believes that at the very foundational level of life, things are elegant and incredibly complex\u2014so much so that Darwin\u2019s theory of evolution can\u2019t adequately explain them. In this episode, Behe shares with us a bit of his findings after decades of researching Darwinism, biochemistry, and intelligent design.
