5.0 out of 5 stars Great book! A must read by everyone!, 23 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book details the worldviews of naturalism and materialism vs theistic views. It deftly shows the flaws of naturalism, the fallacies it creates and how it started. A must read for all thinking people no matter what their personal views are!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, well thought-out arguments, 22 May 1999
By A Customer
While there are a few places where he treats the "opposition" fairly superficially, going into too much more detail would render the text unreadable. He is very careful to go for the core of the issues, though, and does a remarkable job at making sure that his reasoning is solid. You'd be a fool to only one side and not major authors on the other, but he greatly clarifies what the debate is really about. Excellent.

1.0 out of 5 stars A lawyer's conception of truth, 9 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Nobel laureate Kary Mullis was asked to testify as an expert witness at the O. J. Simpson trial (in the end, he didn't.) Consequently, he thought quite a lot about the nature of truth as it is seen by lawyers and by scientists. In law, the opposing sides approach a trial by collecting all the evidence that will be used in the trial, and exchanging it in discovery proceedings. At a certain point, the stream of evidence is cut off, and this finite body of information is used to reach an absolute, final verdict (truth-telling.) In science, to the contrary, the stream of evidence is never cut off, never ends, and no one ever reaches a final, absolute, unmodifiable truth. This distinction Johnson fails to understand (or at least chooses to gloss over.) He is committed to lawyer's truth and has no interest in scientific truth. That is the trouble with this book and, indeed, all of Johnson's pseudoscientific writings.
