THE LEADING EDGE by Phillip E. Johnson
Freed Science
In August 2011, I attended a conference in Seattle, part of which was devoted to commemorating the 20th anniversary of the original publication of Darwin on Trial. This book, according to the conference participants, changed the world by redefining the terms of the debate between evolution and creation. Changing the terms of that long-deadlocked debate was exactly what I had intended to do, and I hope the conferees were not wrong to credit me with accomplishing so much.
