This year marks the 20th anniversary of Michael Behe & David Snoke's infamous paper that introduced the waiting-time problem, which argues that waiting for specific mutations takes an inordinate amount of time, precluding evolution. In this video, we review the controversy around the paper and its many critiques. In addition, we discuss more recent papers, point out fundamental flaws in Mendel's Accountant, and debunk the waiting-time problem with our own simulations.
