Michael Behe (born 1952) is an American biochemist and a leading proponent of the intelligent design (ID) movement. A professor at Lehigh University, he is best known for developing the concept of "irreducible complexity," arguing that certain cellular systems are too complex to have evolved through Darwinian mechanisms. In his 1996 book, Darwin's Black Box, Behe argued that some biological systems (like the bacterial flagellum) are composed of well-matched, interacting parts, where removing one part causes the whole system to fail. He contends these systems must have been designed by an intelligent agent.
