Died: Phillip E. Johnson, Lawyer who Put Darwin on Trial

“Johnson’s landmark book, Darwin on Trial, argued that Darwinian evolution didn’t have real evidence or good arguments, but was instead ‘another kind of fundamentalism.’ … Darwin on Trial galvanized a group of Christians who opposed the theory of evolution, but also wanted to distance themselves from Bible-based creationism, which could not be taught in public schools.” - Christianity Today
