One must admire Richard's "attack is the best defence" strategy! On his
own criteria, he, with a BSc in Statistics, can argue for "Darwinian

Professor of Law) cannot. And that with Johnson reading almost all the

hardly having read any of it! >> >>
Let's look at this again:
"And that with Johnson reading almost all the modern "Darwinian evolution"
literature over the last 15 years and Richard hardly having read any of it."
Doing a simple Pubmed search for "Darwinian evolution" I got 317 hits.
Searching for "biological evolution" returns over 2,000.
I seriously doubt that Johnson has read 'almost all' the modern literature.
Unless, of course, Steve means popular books. Looking at the references in
'Darwin on Trial,' it is a safe bet that Steve is merely engaging in his
usual hero-worship embellishment.
