Objective Truth

More From Phillip E. Johnson

Modernist Discourse [...] Incorporates Semantic Devices - Such As The Labeling Of Theism As 'religion' And Naturalism As 'science' - That Work To Prevent A Dangerous Debate Over Fundamental Assumptions From Breaking Out In The Open.

The Problem With Allowing God A Role In The History Of Life Is Not That Science Would Cease, But Rather That Scientists Would Have To Acknowledge The Existence Of Something Important Which Is Outside The Boundaries Of Natural Science.

History Of Life

The Assumption That Nature Is All There Is, And That Nature Has Been Governed By The Same Rules At All Times And Places, Makes It Possible For Natural Science To Be Confident That It Can Explain Such Things As How Life Began.

The Intelligent Design Movement Starts With The Recognition That "in The Beginning Was The Word," And "in The Beginning God Created." Establishing That Point Isn't Enough, But It Is Absolutely Essential To The Rest Of The Gospel Message.

Although I Insist That God Has Always Had The Power To Intervene Directly In Nature To Create New Forms, I Am Willing To Be Per-suaded That He Chose Not To Do So And Instead Employed Secondary Natural Causes Like Random Mutation And Natural Selection.
