Behe serves as professor of biochemistry at [[Lehigh University]] in [[Bethlehem, Pennsylvania]], and as a senior fellow of the [[Discovery Institute]]'s [[Center for Science and Culture]]. He advocates for the validity of the argument for [[irreducible complexity]] (IC), which claims that some biochemical structures are too [[Complexity|complex]] to be explained by known [[evolution#Evolutionary forces|evolutionary mechanisms]] and are therefore probably the result of [[intelligent design]]. Behe has testified in several court cases related to intelligent design, including the court case ''[[Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District]]'', where his views were cited in the ruling that intelligent design is not science and is religious in nature.[[s:Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District#H.
