Show Notes

On this episode of ID The Future, two men influenced by Phillip Johnson's 1991 book Darwin on Trial pay tribute. At a recent event celebrating Johnson's impact, biologist and professor Dr. Paul Nelson says "the strongest cultural influence that the intelligent design community has had has been through its books - they change lives."

Dr. Jonathan Wells, a cell and developmental biologist, credits Johnson with convincing him that the evidence for common ancestry, a pillar of Darwinian evolution, was so thin it was simply "applied materialistic philosophy."

For more on Phillip Johnson's work, including biography, videos, and articles, visit the new website darwinontrial.com.

Purchase the 20th Anniversary Edition of Darwin on Trial.
