Phillip Johnson aims not just to defeat a bad theory, but to defeat it by opening minds to the truth. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - We are done with dogmaThe phenomena of dogma is what keeps people from buying into a philosophy, be it religious, political, or scientific in nature. I enjoyed reading this book, having purchased it 2 days ago and finishing it last night. It is eight chapters long, 120 pages, and not overly technical. The author knows his subject and explains it clearly and wisely. This is not another intransigent one-sided dogma pusher. Rather, the author strives for a mature frame of mind with a relaxed grip on the facts in order to ... Read More Rating:  - No real content here.Johnson never gets to the details of his arguments. The book is simply an attempt to shove Christianity onto science. He starts out insisting that God belongs in science without really saying why. He never points out an area of science that needs God, except he keeps mentioning evolution in that connection. But the lack of details makes this book unconvincing even for its intended audience. If this is the best creationists have to offer, science has nothing to worry about (except the stupid, ignorant ...

It looks like there's at least one fallacy or falsehood on every page. Johnson briefly addresses some fallacies he thinks he's encountered in dealing with scientists, but somehow he fails to see that the very same fallacies permeate his writing. I've seen more coherent and eloquent arguments for creationism on free websites. I'm no longer a creationist and I'm convinced that creationism in our times is essentially ... Read More Rating: - Perhaps the most dispiriting book I have ever readDefeating Darwinism by Opening Minds by Philip Johnson is a total sham of a book. If it were possible to give this minus five stars it would still be insufficient to describe how dreadful this book really is. Johnson never has any intention of opening minds in this book except to get them to accept religion and reject science. Otherwise the intention is to nail them shut against any possibility that God never did have anything to do with creation or the universe and most likely never existed in the first place. ... Read More Rating:  - Great addition to the debate.This book a very good but can be disappointing to those who are perhaps expecting something else from it. This book is a great for those who are interested in really having a knowledge of the Creation/Evolution debate from all angles. If you are a Christian looking for a book that will give you a few arguements to defend your faith or perhaps enhance your faith then this book is not really what you are looking for. Phillip Johnson presents some of the philisophical baggage that is tied to Darwinian evolution ... Read More
