Phillip E. Johnson Quotes & Sayings (Page 2)

“Darwinism is not merely a support for naturalistic philosophy: it is a product of naturalistic philosophy.”

“All the most prominent Darwinists proclaim naturalistic philosophy when they think it safe to do so.”

“Truth as such is not a particularly important concept in naturalistic philosophy.”

“First, Darwinian theory tells us how a certain amount of diversity in life forms can develop once we have various types of complex living organisms already in existence.”

“In the most important sense a creationist is a person who believes in creation, and that includes people who believe that Genesis is a myth and that creation involved a process called evolution and consumed billions of years.”

“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.”

“The assumption that nature is all there is, and that nature has been governed by the same rules at all times and places, makes it possible for natural science to be confident that it can explain such things as how life began.”

“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.”

“As a theist I believe that God exists and that God creates.”

“In short, the proposition that God was in any way involved in our creation is effectively outlawed, and implicitly negated.”
