I would advise that you check out this page that debunks Philip Johnson's pseudoscientific (for a lack of a more precise word) junk.

Have you read Johnson's book? If you've read Johnson's book and are impressed with this "refutation," then there's really no point in further discussion. The article fails to even mention the two pillars of Johnson's critique of evolutionary theory: the complete lack of fossil evidence for the development of various species through micromutations and the plain absurdity of punk eek.

Medved outlined the pretty much insurmountable problems in #303.

You're glossing over a lot in your reading of this thread. That much is clear.

Note that on that old thread linked in 308 I did not merely sneer at medved's inadequate response, but came back to it and dissected it in detail. This is exactly the scrutiny he's claiming his posts have never never never been given. They get it every time. Why on earth would they? How much real attention do you give to an advertising flyer in your mailbox if it's the same thing every other day for the last three weeks? But periodically, everybody gives him a look-over.

Anyone who takes any trouble knocks him out of the park. You don't have to be a genius. You just have to be sane.

The thing which all the crybaby acts are about is my post 46 on this same thread. That's my best shot at summarizing the major arguments against evolutionism. Feel free to post it around if you'd like; it'd be fun to see what kind of crybaby acts would ensue if four or five people started posting that on these threads.

Isn't Johnson a lawyer? Or am I mistaking him for someone else? If he is a lawyer, wouldn't you consider him to be an improper authority (as in the fallacy of Appeal to Improper Authority) when it comes to evolutionary science?
