	Critiques of Phillip Johnson
		Phillip Johnson and Howard Van Till debate the feasibility of theistic evolution.
		Phillip Johnson has a home page, which contains some of his articles, his speaking schedule and a number of book reviews.
		Johnson maintains that theism is a source of truth which competes with science and gives a framework from which one can reject evolution because of its weaknesses (which he claims the scientific naturalist can't do unless another paradigm comes along).

	phillip johnson recruiting

		Our talk with Phillip and his family lasted just under an hour, and Phillip was accompanied at breakfast by his father and mother, and Phillip's girlfriend, who made the trip with the the family from Arroyo Grande.
		During that breakfast, we learned that Johnson is currently looking primarily at two schools, Cal Poly SLO and Washington State, both of which he's very interested in, and both of whom are pursuing him as a priority recruit.

	Honesty in "Darwin on Trial"
		Johnson opens his book with discussions of science and material that sounds agreeable and reasonable, but this is just the hook to draw the reader in; by the last few chapters, Johnson's venom is in full spate and he is insisting that the scientific establishment has nothing better to do than persecute harmless creationists.
		Johnson fits perfectly a quote applied to the last generation of creationists: "Scientific creationism is an intolerable assault on education not merely because it is the antithesis of reason, but because it is opposed to the very foundation of true education: intellectual honesty.
		Johnson accuses them of engaging in philosophy rather than science, saying that the "task of science is not to speculate about why God might have done things this way, but to see if a material cause can be established by empirical investigation." But their point is not theological speculation.

	An extended review of Phillip E. Johnson's "Darwin On Trial"
		Phillip E. Johnson, a professor of law at the University of California at Berkeley, is also an active and eloquent anti-evolutionist.
		Johnson's goal is to sow doubt concerning the factuality of common descent, and dismissal of the evidence of the therapsids in documenting possible ancestry for mammals on the basis of rhetoric alone leaves much to be desired.
		Johnson's book reduces to practice his claims of critiquing biological theory on logical grounds, and his effectiveness must be evaluated on the basis of the arguments that are realized, rather than the ones that might have been possible.

	Darwin on Trial. (Phillip Johnson).
		Johnson describes 4 interpretations of natural selection: [1] as a tautology, [2] as a deductive argument, [3] as a scientific hypothesis and [4] as a philosophical necessity.
		Johnson demands from his opponents certainty, absolute proof and truth, things Popper and Johnson himself associates with the 'craving to be right'.
		One thing Johnson made clear about the Evolution and Creation controversy: part of the controversy is about the power to control the 'creation story' in public life and in education (12).

	Amazon.com: Darwin on Trial: Books
		Phillip Johnson is a law professor at UC Berkeley and an evangelical Christian who has stated publicly that his conversion to Christianity was what motivated him to make a crusade out of trying to discredit the science of evolution.
		Johnson attempts to discredit physical evidence, such as the transition from reptiles to mammals, so that he can concentrate heavily on biological systems, such as the eye, which by their very nature cannot be studied in the fossil record.
		Johnson appeals to the layman's misunderstanding and mistrust of evolution, and of science in general, but is still unable to explain why the overwhelming majority of scientists accept evolution as fact, even the ones who are not atheists.

	Defeating Darwinism
		Phillip Johnson is a law professor at the University of California, Berkley.
		Johnson calls his basic strategy for addressing the issue of evolution, the "wedge." He wants to drive a wedge into the "log" of scientific materialism so as to separate the facts of scientific investigation from the naturalistic philosophy which dominates science.
		Professor Johnson studied the literature closely and concluded that what keeps the "evolution-as-fact" dogma alive is not scientific evidence at all, but rather a commitment to the philosophy of naturalism.

	IV w/ Phillip Johnson
		Phillip E. Johnson, welcome to Tehama County, where sheep outnumber cows who outnumber people, where the rattlesnakes are not the human kind, and where the spotted owl is more likely to appear on the menu than on the endangered species list.

		Johnson goes on to ask how tolerant the scientific community is to those who think there is an Intelligence, a Planner behind the universe, and whether such people might get a fair hearing of their views.
