Description

Mr. Johnson was one of the first to argue against Darwinism not from the point of

view of Biblical literalism, but from evidence about the complexity of organisms and

variability within species. A fascinating discussion of a theoretical subject that our guest

is able to make concrete. PJ: "When you look at the evidence of life, just the single

cell--you don't even have to get up to human beings and complex creatures or flowers or

anything beautiful, but just bacterial cells--when you look at that evidence without

prejudice, for what it is, and what you see is something that is packed with information,

with a complicated program of instructions. That is the kind of thing that as far as we

can tell always comes from intelligence."
