Interesting. I thought Ralph Neas put the mainstream case well, in the very
limited time available. By the way, you *do* have an awful lot of commercial
breaks in the States! ;-)
There's one major logical flaw in Johnson's position which I haven't yet
seen mentioned, though it's fairly obvious. He claims that science rules out
ID because it excludes the supernatural by definition. But this is a non
sequitur, since he also insists (though he didn't mention it in this
particular interview) that the ID which is demonstrated by ID proponents is
not necessarily supernatural. So, Johnson's favourite argument falls at the
first hurdle!
