The 2000 Longo Lecture Series will feature Phillip E. Johnson, professor of law at the University of California, Berekely. Dr. Johnson, called "our age's clearest thinker on evolution" and the "principal lay critic of Darwinism," is the author of numerous best selling books, essays, and articles. One of his more famous works, Darwin on Trial, examines the scientific evidence for and against Darwinistic evolution, arguing that the hotly debated theory is based more on faith than on evidence.

The Longo Lecture, made possible by a generous grant from by Dr. Lawrence D. Longo, is scheduled for February 2000.
