Probability's Nature and Nature's Probability by Donald E. Johnson

This is a probabilistic refutation of Neo-Darwinism on informational and mathematical grounds. It is full of interesting quotes. The format is barely readable and the quotes, though carefully referenced, could be closely edited for effect. However, I myself think they are representative. An evolutionist can say "appearance of design" dismissively only so often without having to try to quantify "possible" and "given enough time" etc. An evolutionist can invoke comets, panspermia, anything but intelligence, and not be ostracized. Yet intelligence is our only empirically tested source of true (as opposed to Shannon) information. Useful also for bibliography.
