'''''Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution''''' is a 1996 book written by scientist [[Michael Behe]] in which he argues that many biochemical systems are [[irreducible complexity|irreducibly complex]]. This means in order to function in their current form, they could not have had precursors in their development. No series of intermediary steps could have achieved a working result. Therefore, by logical process of elimination, they must be the result of [[intelligent design]] rather than having occurred through a natural [[evolution|evolutionary]] processes.

Several examples are cited. The modern movement for intelligent design was given a strong boost from Behe's book.
