Ah -- I assumed from your name and from my experiences with libertarians here on FR that you were an atheist --- My Bad.
I also am something of a theistic evolutionist of the variety that Johnson decries in the interview that heads this thread. Some years ago I was more confident in his and William Dembski's interpretation of Darwinism than I am today. I don't think Dembski's "explanatory filter" theory works, and, although I think that Johnson is correct about many of the pitfalls of the materialist philosophy that undergirds neo-orthodox Darwinism, I think that his blanket rejection of some well established evidence for evolution is a bit too glib.
I've always liked Michael Denton's "pathways of design" theory, as articulated in his book Nature's Destiny. I think that theory, or something close to it, will eventually prove to be accurate, modifying current theories about randomness and mutation. Some deep law of evolution is still profoundly misunderstood by human investigators.
