Intelligent Design
Mr. Johnson mistakenly assumes that the debate on intelligent design is a scientific dispute. It is not. It is primarily a theological dispute, primarily within christianity. The arguments regarding probability and thermodynamics reflect the typical miss-understandings present not among scientists and mathematicians, but in the general public at large. The "Laws of Thermodynamics" serve the same role in Physics that Euclid's axioms serve in Geometry. Closed Systems in Thermodynamics do not exist! They are merely a framework which underlies the logical foundations of the subject. The energy that propels Life on this Earth largely comes from the Sun, and there is no violation of the laws of Thermodynamics, because there are no "closed" thermodynamic systems in Nature. The arguments of Intelligent Design are philosophical and religious rather than scientific. In the Dover ID legal case, Michael Dehe suggested that the to include ID in science, the definition of science would have to changed to also include astrology in science. The Judge ruled that Intelligent Design is religion and philosophy, and does not belong in public school science classes. I first learned about Evolution in the Catholic School System. I doubt that that Mr. Johnson would do very well if he debated Ken Miller, one of the principal witnesses for the Evolution side in the Dover Trial.
This Christian apologist needs to take Logic 101!
This podcast is just plain horrible. Mr. Johnson claims to be seeking the truth, yet comes to the conclusion that ghosts exist, there is certainly a god, resurrection is real! He makes more fallacies than I've ever heard ANYONE make, and coats them in claims that he's seeking the truth, and accusations that his guests have never taken a course in logic. I don't know what kind of logic course Mr. Johnson has taken, but it wasn't the sort of logic that anyone in academia is aware of. Mr. Johnson shouts over his guests, makes claims about other worldviews that are incorrect, but passes them off as fact, thereby making those who hold such worldviews look like fools without being able to refute the claim. He makes the same argument over and over again in exactly the same way until his guest just gives up. He sets up straw men wherever he possibly can, shoots them down, and claims his worldview is the only one standing. This show is just plain crap! Mr. Johnson is not attempting to discover the truth wherever it leads him, as he claims, but is rather a Christian apologist trying to assert his view is true no matter the evidence he must confront. Not only is he a Christian apologist, he's a BAD one at that! Enjoy the podcast, and see for yourself.
Don needs to study more!
Don needs to study more, he misses answering many questions that any Apologetist worth his weight would know.
