Darwin's Black Box by Michael J. Behe
This book presents a critique of the theory of evolution from a biochemical perspective. The author argues that complex biochemical systems within the cell, such as blood clotting and vision, could not have evolved gradually through natural selection because they are "irreducibly complex" - all parts must be present and functioning for the system to work. He proposes that such systems must have been deliberately designed, introducing the concept of "intelligent design" as an alternative to Darwinian evolution.
