I agree that Johnson's lack of scientific training is evident, but
disagree that Lamoureux leveled Johnson. Johnson's critique of the
"central claim of modern neo-Darwinism" - "the blind watchmaker thesis",
remains unanswered, as can be seen in the chapter of _Darwinism
Defeated?_ by Rikki Watts: "On the other hand, what if he [Johnson] is
right and the origin of information is precisely that boundary condition
(or event horizon) at which methodological naturalism breaks down?" (p
164)
