The Father of "Intelligent Design"

Last week, the East Bay Express had a lengthy article on Phillip Johnson, the father of the modern "intelligent design" (nee "creationism" by another name) movement. It's an interesting read, mostly for the fact that this supposed expert on the development of live on this planet was a renowned scholar in the field of . . . wait for it . . . law! Criminal law, to boot (although it appears from the article that he never actually practiced it, which, sadly, is not a rare occurrence these days).
