Michael J. Behe was born in 1952 and grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  In 1974 he graduated from Drexel University in Philadelphia with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry.  He did his graduate studies in biochemistry at the University of Pennsylvania and was awarded the Ph.D. in 1978 for his dissertation research on sickle-cell disease.  From 1978-1982 he did postdoctoral work in DNA structure at the National Institutes of Health.  From 1982-1985 he was Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Queens College in New York City, where he met his wife.  In 1985 he moved to Lehigh University where he is currently Professor of Biochemistry.  In his career he has authored over 40 technical papers and one book, Darwin's Black Box:  The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution, which argues that living systems at the molecular level are best explained as being the result of deliberate intelligent design.  Darwin's Black Box was chosen as the 1997 Book of the Year by Christianity Today.  He and his wife reside near Bethlehem, Pennsylvania with their seven children.
