    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)
