Phillip E Johnson Quotes

Darwinism is not merely a support for naturalistic philosophy: it is a product of naturalistic philosophy Picture Quote #1

The second advantage claimed for naturalism is that it is equivalent to rationality, because it assumes a model of reality in which all events are in principle accessible to scientific investigation Picture Quote #1

No doubt it is true that science cannot study God, but it hardly follows that God had to keep a safe distance from everything that scientists want to study Picture Quote #1

The monopoly of science in the realm of knowledge explains why evolutionary biologists do not find it meaningful to address the question whether the Darwinian theory is true Picture Quote #1

If modernist naturalism were true, there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference, or political power, and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming Picture Quote #1

The Intelligent Design movement starts with the recognition that In the beginning was the Word, and In the beginning God created. Establishing that point isn’t enough, but it is absolutely essential to the rest of the gospel message Picture Quote #1

Materialism sets us free from sin-by proving that there is no such thing as sin. There’s just antisocial behavior, which we can control with measures like laws and educational programs Picture Quote #1

Modernist discourse [...] incorporates semantic devices - such as the labeling of theism as ‘religion’ and naturalism as ‘science’ - that work to prevent a dangerous debate over fundamental assumptions from breaking out in the open Picture Quote #1

Evolutionary biologists are not content merely to explain how variation occurs within limits, however. They aspire to answer a much broader question-which is how complex organisms like birds, and flowers, and human beings came into existence in the first place Picture Quote #1

According to the scientific naturalist version of cosmic history, nature is a permanently closed system of material effects that can never be influenced by something from outside - like God, for example Picture Quote #1

This isn’t really, and never has been, a debate about science, it’s about religion and philosophy Picture Quote #1

A constitutional democracy is in serious trouble if its citizenry does not have a certain degree of education and civic virtue Picture Quote #1

So one reason the science educators panic at the first sign of public rebellion is that they fear exposure of the implicit religious content in what they are teaching Picture Quote #1

Some theists in evolutionary science acquiesce to these tacit rules and retain a personal faith while accepting a thoroughly naturalistic picture of physical reality Picture Quote #1
