Harvard grad Phillip E. Johnson was the law clerk for
Chief Justice Earl Warren and taught law for 30 years at UC Berkeley. Johnson is most known for being the father of
Intelligent Design (ID). Access Research
Network (ARN) was Phillip Johnson’s recommended site: [1]
The new Executive Director for ARN is Art Battson (as of
1-1-15). Dennis Wagner was the prior
leader. Amazingly, Battson’s views support
the stability of Essential Types of Life (ETL’s).
Even is Darwin’s day all scientists were not
convinced. Sir Charles Wyville Thomson (FRS,
d. 1882), chief scientist on the Challenger expedition which revolutionized
oceanography, rejected the “theory which refers the evolution of species to extreme
variation guided only by natural selection.” [2]
YES –
Young Earth Science shows that stasis of ETL’s, Catastrophism
and a Young Earth are connected. Thus,
Intelligent Design implies Young Earth Science (YES). There are numerous data which favors YES. Phillip Johnson is clearly YES friendly.
