For decades, Christians have felt voiceless in the critical debate over evolution. Until now. Finally, ordinary Christians have the opportunity and the resources to defeat the false claims of Darwinism. With all of the complicated scientific debate swirling around the topic of evolution, Christians need an easy way to understand the basic issues without oversimplifying. Phillip Johnson has the answer: the key to defeating the false claims of Darwinism is to open our minds to good thinking habits. Here is first-rate advice on avoiding common mistakes in discussions about evolution, understanding the legacy of the Scopes trial, spotting deceptive arguments, and grasping the basic scientific issues without getting bogged down in unnecessary details. In the bestselling and critically acclaimed Darwin on Trial and Reason in the Balance, Phillip Johnson took on the academic elites and exposed the misleading claims of evolutionary naturalism. Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds provides a new and powerful treatment of these issues for high-school students, parents, teachers, pastors, youth advisers, and ordinary listeners. Johnson aims not just to defeat a bad theory, but to defeat it in the right way--by opening minds to the truth.

Most intellectually dishonest book I've ever read, aside from Johnson's other books. I started noting the deliberate distortions and lies as margin notes, but gave up half way through as the pens kept running out of ink.
But, what can you expect from a person who seems content to dissemble for the Lord because, you know, it's for the Lord!
The only good thing about this book is that it is so incompetent in its effort that anyone following its lead will look like an utter 'Dueling Banjos' goober. The bad thing about that is they will continue to blither and pray their way through a life where common sense is really not wanted as Death is just too scary when you look at it like a Growed Up.
I'd say this book is on par with Johnson's other works, one of which also share bookspace on my Comedy/Humor shelf, along with such classics as Physical Science for Christian Schools and Chariots of the Gods.
