"Darwin on Trial is unquestionably the best critique of Darwinism
I have ever read. Professor Johnson combines a broad knowledge of biology
with the incisive logic of a leading legal scholar to deliver a brilliant
and devastating attack on the whole edifice of Darwinian belief. There is
no doubt that this book will prove a severe embarrassment to the Darwinian
establishment."
Dr. Michael Denton, Molecular Biologist
and author of Evolution: A Theory in Crisis
"Darwin on Trial shows just how Darwinian evolution has become
an idol of the contemporary tribe, and how deeply philosophical and religious
ideas enter into its status as part of the intellectual orthodoxy of our
day."
Alvin Plantinga, Professor of Philosophy
Notre Dame University
"Darwin on Trial is both an excellent and highly readable
presentation of the difficulties that Darwinians have yet to provide a convincing
answer to, and an eye-opening history of some of the recent attempts by
Darwinians to control the terms of the debate. I recommend it very highly."
Peter van Inwagen, Professor of Philosophy
Syracuse University
"Phillip Johnson has done extremely well in making himself familiar
with evolutionary theory and biological ways of reasoning .... This book
is highly recommended as an introduction to the current controversy on evolution."
Dr. Siegfried Scherer, Faculty of Biology
University of Konstanz, Germany
"Darwin on Trial is more than just a brilliant critique of the neo-Darwinian
theory of evolution. It is also an insightful analysis of the strong philosophical
bias for faith in evolution held by many of the theory's leading advocates."
Dr. Walter Bradley, Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Texas A & M University
"In all the vast literature on Darwinism, evolution, creation, and
theism, one will likely not find a treatment so calm, comprehensive, and
compellingly persuasive as Phillip Johnson's Darwin on Trial. I recommend
it with enthusiasm."
Richard John Neuhaus, Editor, First Things
"Darwin's theory of evolution is one of the great intellectual superstition
of modern times. It does the soul good to see a Berkeley professor attack
it."
