Stephen: "What I have said so far should not be controversial. If scientists--and
professors in general, and elite journalists--understood the issues correctly,
Darwinism would self-destruct over night.'

Perhaps in Johnson's limited understanding of science that is.

' Once the analytical spotlight is properly focused, few people will defend the finch-beak example as
evidencing anything beyond trivial variation, or the computer selection example as anything but the kind of logical fallacy you can legitimately flunk an undergraduate for misunderstanding."

Speaking of missed points... Quite ironic indeed.
