With all of the complicated debate swirling around the topic of evolution, is there an easy way to understand the basic issues without oversimplifying?  Philip Johnson says there is: 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 exposes the misleading claims of evolutionary naturalism.  Defeating Darwinism provides a new a powerful treatment of these issues for high-school students, parents, teachers, pastors, youth advisors and ordinary readers.  Johnson aims not just to defeat a bad theory; but to defeat it the right way - by opening minds to the truth.
