I have just received a copy of one of Phil Johnson's latest tapes
"The Grand Metaphysical Theory of Evolution". It is one of his
best.

The tape features a book review in New York Review of Books 9
January 1997 by Richard Lewontin of Carl Sagan's "Demon-Haunted
World". It is titled "Billions and billions of demons". Lewontin
claims that popularisers like Sagan and Dawkins have oversold
science. He also claims that Dawkins and E.O. Wilson have (from
memory) "counter-factual claims at the very heart of their
stories" Johnson comments that this is "only a millimetre away
from calling them liars"!

Does anyone know of a web-page or an email copy of Lewontin's
review?

The tape is available from Melinda Penner <102450.1661@CompuServe.COM>
of Stand to Reason. Melinda sent me the following ordering details:

----------------------------------------------------------
You can either fax us your order with a credit card number. That
has more security. (310) 937-7790. Or you can e-mail it with your
credit card number, if you're not concerned about the security of
the transmission and/or don't have a fax number.

The tape set is $7 plus 20% international shipping.

Let me know if I can be of further help.
