Johnson then goes on to note that the phrase so important to the Darwinists "survival of the fittest" is a mere tautology, or circular reasoning.

I might as mention that mathematics is full of tautologies and maybe-tautologies. What's a maybe-tautology? 1 + 1 = 2 is a tautology if you define 2 as 1 + 1.

True, but mathematics is not science. Logic is not science either. Neither logic nor mathematics says anything about the world, science does. Tautologies are the basis of philosophies and ideologies, not science. That is why evolution is not science but an ideology - an ideology as blindly adhered to by some of its followers as Communism ever was.

Yet you try to use mathematical probabilities to falsify evolution.
