Dear Jack:

Biochemist Mike Behe is one of Discovery Institute’s most beloved Senior Fellows. He helped launch the modern debate over intelligent design in biology with his book Darwin's Black Box. Last year, he continued to trailblaze with his blockbuster book Darwin Devolves.

Mike is winsome, funny—and persuasive.

Unfortunately, not enough people know about him. Many people don’t read science books or want to sit through a science lecture.

That’s why Mike and Discovery Institute have teamed up with filmmaker Cal Covert to launch Secrets of the Cell with Michael Behe during the week of February 10. The purpose of this new 5-part YouTube series is to provide you with an effective way to share Mike Behe’s revolutionary ideas with your friends and family and others in your circle of influence—even those who aren’t science geeks!

In these 4-8 minute videos, Mike will explain his ideas so that everyone can understand them. He will reveal some of the “secrets” of how the cell works, and he will show how the inner-workings of life point to intelligent design. We want this video series to get a half-million views by the end of the year.

That’s an ambitious goal. We think we can achieve it—if we can count on YOUR support.

Will you join us as we seek to spread Mike’s message to a broad new audience?

A gift of just $25 will help us reach 1,000 views through social media, Google ads, and other forms of promotion. $100 will help us reach 4,000 views. $250 will help us reach more than 10,000.

Intelligent design has the winning arguments, but to win the culture, we need to spread the word to many more people. This new video series is a way to do that.

If you donate at least $10, we will give you advance access to the first episode of Secrets of the Cell. That’s right—if you help Mike, you will get to see the first episode before it is released to the general public weeks from now!

So GIVE NOW, and get access to the first episode today!

Sincerely,




John G. West, Associate Director
