    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!
