Phillip E. Johnson cytaty

Phillip E. Johnson – amerykański profesor prawa na uniwersytecie Berkeley w Kalifornii.

Phillip E. Johnson jest jedną z głównych postaci zaangażowanych w koncepcję inteligentnego projektu, jest autorem książki Sąd nad Darwinem zawierającej krytykę darwinizmu oraz inicjatorem tzw. strategii klina , społecznej akcji zapoczątkowanej przez Discovery Institute, organizację grupującą krytyków ewolucjonizmu i promującą wspomnianą teorię inteligentnego projektu. Twierdzi że akceptacja metafizycznego naturalizmu w nauce czyni z niej metafizyczną opowieść o tym jak powstał świat.

Znany jest również z promowania z Kary B. Mullisem oraz Charlesem Thomasem opinii, wygłaszanej mimo sprzeciwów wspólnoty naukowej, że wirus HIV nie jest przyczyną AIDS ponieważ istnieją osoby o symptomach AIDS bez zarażenia wirusem HIV oraz nosiciele tego wirusa bez widocznych symptomów AIDS.

Phillip E. Johnson cytaty

„Historia darwinizmu to historia wyzwolenia ludzkości z urojenia, iż jej losy wyznacza jakaś wyższa moc.”

Phillip E. Johnson

Darwinism is the story of humanity's liberation from the delusion that its destiny is controlled by a power higher than itself. (ang.)
ten wyjęty z kontekstu cytat został użyty w słowniku Penguin English Dictionary jako przykład użycia słowa delusion (urojenie). Mimo że cytat nie odzwierciedla poglądów autora, jest trafnym podsumowaniem rangi darwinizmu we współczesnej nauce.

Phillip E. Johnson: Cytaty po angielsku

“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.”

“This [origins debate] isn't really, and never has been, a debate about science, it's about religion and philosophy.”

1990s

“The objective is to convince people that Darwinism is inherently atheistic, thus shifting the debate from creationism vs. evolution to the existence of God vs. the non-existence of God. From there people are introduced to 'the truth' of the Bible and then 'the question of sin' and finally 'introduced to Jesus.”

“Scientists have long known that Darwinism is false. They have adhered to the myth out of self-interest and a zealous desire to put down God.”

“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.”

Foreword to Creation, Evolution, & Modern Science (2000)
1990s

“We're not trying to prove the character of God through science. That's a bad idea. What I'm trying to do is clear away the misunderstandings, the debris that prevent people from accepting that God who wants to accept them.”

“So the question is: "How to win?" That's when I began to develop what you now see full-fledged in the "wedge" strategy: "Stick with the most important thing" — the mechanism and the building up of information. Get the Bible and the Book of Genesis out of the debate because you do not want to raise the so-called Bible-science dichotomy. Phrase the argument in such a way that you can get it heard in the secular academy and in a way that tends to unify the religious dissenters. That means concentrating on, "Do you need a Creator to do the creating, or can nature do it on its own?" and refusing to get sidetracked onto other issues, which people are always trying to do.”

“If we understand our own times, we will know that we should affirm the reality of God by challenging the domination of materialism and naturalism in the world of the mind. With the assistance of many friends I have developed a strategy for doing this. … We call our strategy the "wedge."”

“Our strategy has been to change the subject a bit so that we can get the issue of intelligent design, which really means the reality of God, before the academic world and into the schools.”
