- The interesting thing is that, in Mr. Johnson's book (_Darwin on Trial_),
- he continually refers to _The Blind Watchmaker_. He does not address
- the content of the latter, however, except to claim that it is "really
- a sustained argument for atheism" (as if this somehow makes it invalid).
- You might find it interesting to read _Darwin..._ and compare.
