Johnson is the program advisor of the Center for Science and Culture and is considered the father of the intelligent design movement.
When was ID first postulated? Serious question! I'd like key publications and their dayes. I'm off on hols and fancy a little light reading.

Imagine that! Google knows everything.
Wait a minute, if google knows everything, it is omniscient by definition. If only God is omniscient, then google must be God.

Originally posted by aardvarkhomeIdeas similar to ID were assumed as true prior to Darwin. All species were considered separate creations, designed, etc. The modern version of ID, however, really kicked off I think with Micheal Denton's Evolution: A Theory in Crisis. Some other good ID books I know of are: Michael Behe's 'Darwin's Black Box', Thomas Woodward's 'Doubts about Darwin' (a good overview of the history of design), William Dembinski (don't know the titles), and Phillip Johnson's 'Darwin on Trial'. Take your pick and enjoy.

S.C. Meyer, “The Origin of Biological Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories,” Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, 117(2) (2004): 213-239.
However, the Discovery Institute offers and annotated bibliography of several, including the one I cite. You may view it at: http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=2640&program=CSC%20-%20Scientific%20Research%20and%20Scholarship%20-%20Science
The annoted bibliography prints out to a mere 8 pages. You shouldn't have much difficulty reading everything on the list before happy hour. 😉
