Phillip E. JohnsonPhillip E. Johnson (born 1940) is an American law professor and author. He is considered the father of the intelligent design movement, which criticizes the theory of evolution and philosophical naturalism. Johnson has also challenged the scientific orthodoxy that HIV is the cause of AIDS. Biography Johnson was born in Aurora, Illinois in 1940. He received a BA degree in English literature, from Harvard University in 1961. He studied law at the University of Chicago. He served as a law clerk for the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, Earl Warren. He is an emeritus professor of law at Boalt School of Law at the University of California at Berkeley, where he served on the active faculty from 1967-2000. Despite the fact that he has no formal background in the biological sciences, Johnson has become a prominent critic of evolutionary theory. Johnson popularized the term "intelligent design" in its current sense in his 1991 book, Darwin on Trial, and he remains one of the best known advocates for the intelligent design movement. He is a critic of naturalism, and espouses a philosophy for which he has coined the term theistic realism. He is the author of several books on intelligent design and related topics, as well as textbooks on criminal law. Johnson is a Christian and elder in the Presbyterian Church (USA).
