Re: [asa] Phillip Johnson quote on ID

So if there isn't a scientific theory & it's not religion, what is it?

  This was mentioned on your blog, but I don't recall that it's been quoted on this list. Phillip Johnson, as interviewed by Berkeley Science Review (http://sciencereview.berkeley.edu/articles.php?issue=10&article=evolution):

  ""I considered [Dover] a loser from the start. Where you have a board writing a statement and telling the teachers to repeat it to the class, I thought that was a very bad idea."

  "I also don't think that there is really a theory of intelligent design at the present time to propose as a comparable alternative to the Darwinian theory, which is, whatever errors it might contain, a fully worked out scheme. There is no intelligent design theory that's comparable. Working out a positive theory is the job of the scientific people that we have affiliated with the movement. Some of them are quite convinced that it's doable, but that's for them to prove.No product is ready for competition in the educational world."
