Philip Johnson:

I also don’t think that there is really a theory of intelligent design at the present time to propose as a comparable alternative to the Darwinian theory, which is, whatever errors it might contain, a fully worked out scheme. There is no intelligent design theory that’s comparable. Working out a positive theory is the job of the scientific people that we have affiliated with the movement. Some of them are quite convinced that it’s doable, but that’s for them to prove…No product is ready for competition in the educational world.


Good Article in Berkeley Science Review.

hat tip to Ron Okimoto

LOL Johnson again:

There were specific things in the record...that convinced me that it was a loser and that made it quite easy for him to give judgment for the plaintiffs. I’m not at all complaining that he did that. When you have members of the school board saying things like we ought to stand up for Jesus because he died for us, that’s really asking for it.

but still the IDiots thaught it was a good idea to celebrate the 20th anniversary of "Darwin on Trial" with an special webpage

ID really needn't be much concerned with Johnson's brief lapse into clarity.  The danger is past, he's clearly not much, at least, concerned that ID has no theory and can only do any sort of science using evolutionary theory.  Johnson recently:

Quote
At the conference, after the session about Darwin on Trial and my own influence, I was pleased to hear from Stephen Meyer? about all the people and research projects and books that are advancing the ID movement. It was encouraging and exciting to learn how each aspect of the Darwinist argument is being worked on and addressed.

See, no problem.  "Darwinism" can allow them to do science, and they're not the slightest bit interested in doing ID science, since that's only about religion anyway.

So sure, clarity threatens ID at times.  Rarely, however, do IDiots actually succumb to its dangers.

How's HIV denialism treating you and Bethell, Phillip?

The link doesn't work well, I get redirected but can’t find the article at  http://sciencereview.berkeley.edu/articles.php?issue=10&article=evolution

I have located http://sciencereview.berkeley.edu/read....ng-2006
That is issue 10, with subjects like Berkeley vs. Intelligent Design, and The Dawn of Multicellularity, but no 'evolution' article.

The Johnson quote is on page 33.
