Robert Pennock, a Michigan State University professor of the philosophy of science, pointed to a reproduction shown in court of writing by Phillip Johnson, a law professor at the University of California-Berkeley and author of books including “Darwin on Trial” and “Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds.” Johnson, known as the father of the intelligent design movement, wrote of “theistic realism.” “This means that we affirm that God is objectively real as Creator, and that this reality of God is tangibly recorded in evidence accessible to science, particularly in biology,” the writing stated.So in other words, he found an ID advocate who believes that the theory bolsters his belief in God. So does that mean if we can find a Darwinism advocate who believes that the theory of evolution bolsters his atheist worldview, we can claim Darwinism is a religion?
Philip Johnson is more than an "ID advocate who believes that the theory bolsters his belief in God".
He's the guy how came up with the scam in the first place. So what he wrote is pretty darned significant.
