Don't hate Phillip Johnson because he's a persuasive intellectual: There are ample and more legitimate grounds to have an aversion to him.
Of course I'm just kidding. He's the lawyer who has applied keen observation in refuting Darwinism. He's written numerous bestselling books. He's been a powerful critical thinking advocate. He helped birth the ID movement. So, seriously, he doesn't need anyone else publicly loathing him and his work.
Herein Professor Johnson (graduate of Harvard/U. of Chicago Law School; law clerk for Chief Justice Earl Warren; University of California, Berkeley professor emeritus; authored: Darwin on Trial, Reason in the Balance, The Wedge of Truth) and John Mark Reynolds (Ph.D., U. of Rochester; founder: Torrey Honors Institute; professor of philosophy Biola University) entreat readers to advance a rightful scrutiny of modern atheism. The authors advocate public discussion of worldviews and the rational pre-commitments they are tethered too; let the light of reason shine on all the facts, presuppositions, and arguments related to the debate over atheism.
The authors provide helpful rational tools and the strategies required to prevail during the debate in the marketplace of ideas. Prof. Johnson and Dr. Reynolds demonstrate that the pugnacious atheists attempt to evangelize the non-atheists with ideas that are philosophically weak and epistemically self-stultifying.
With precision and scholarly aptitude they approach the evidence and the worldview grid of unbelief as they deliver a compelling case for truth and openness which only theism rationally underwrites.
