Johnson's complacency concerning the beliefs of fellow ID proponents
is, indeed, a wonder to behold. But Johnson's complacency over Mike
Behe's mealy-mouthed I-see-no-reason-to-disbelieve-common-descent
pales into insignificance compared to the complacency Johnson shows
for Jonathan Wells' rather more enthusiastic belief that Rev. Moon
is today's Jesus Christ.

I think trying to conclude that Johnson holds or does not hold any
particular stance cannot reasonably be argued by his complacency
towards others who hold antithetical stances. It simply does not
follow.
