In his introductory chapter to Intelligent Design 101 Phillip Johnson describes the state of the creation-evolution debate in 1959.
1959 was the centenary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s epoch-making book On the Origin of Species. 50 years later we have another anniversary, and an even more profuse blizzard of books, conferences and television documentaries. In 1959 many of the atheists in the scientific world were quietly confident that evolution had removed the God hypothesis from educated minds and there now remained only a mopping up operation in the cultural war against theistic religion. Intelligent Design 101 helps us catch up with one strand of the debate since then.
