Thank you. Very helpful.
Several points:
1. The last statistic that I heard is that mankind's knowledge doubles in
less than 10 years. This seems that it would create constant difficulties
for Behe's point of view and a God who is the same yesterday, today and
forever.
2. The red knot is a sandpiper which travels 18,000 miles in its rearly
migration. They travel from the southern trip of South America to the
northern islands of Canada, stopping along the way at very specific marshes
and beaches which have the particular food that they eat. They also stop at
Tierra del Fuega to molt. Their timing is perfect for crabs laying eggs and
other natural events which provide them food. They lay eggs, and leave their
young to fly south. The new generation follows a month and a half later,
following exactly the same route. Someday, scientist will find the exact
places where the map is encoded on their DNA. It will be explained. However,
at that time, as at this, I will continue to believe that the "watch
testifies of the watchmaker."
3. If I were a wealthy manufacturer, a Bill Gates of manufacturing, and I
designed a product and built it, then I am the creator. If I built robots to
build my product, I am still its creator and I still make the money. If I
build robots to build the robots and so forth - the money still goes into my
bank account.
(My points would probably be more interesting if they supported a position
of my disagreeing with you.)

For those of you who may not have seen this article in PSCF when it came
out, it should be a classic and receive wider distribution, in my humble
opinion.
