about his doing so was written up in two local papers. I tried to get a link of the AP story by Kimberly Hefling, but was so far only able to find a link in a blog (following)

1. Anyone who has ever heard Ricky speak ...

... on ANY topic, knows for a fact that there was NO intelligent design involved.

2. Here's a link I posted in GD from the Phila Inquirer...

U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum (R., Pa.) wrote the foreword for a new book praising a retired law professor sometimes called the father of the intelligent-design movement.

The book, Darwin's Nemesis: Phillip Johnson and the Intelligent Design Movement, consists of 18 essays honoring Johnson's work, according to the publisher, InterVarsity Press. It was edited by William A. Dembski, and will be available in April.

Intelligent design is the concept that living organisms are so complex they must have been created by a higher force rather than evolving from more primitive forms. Johnson's 1991 book, Darwin on Trial, has been credited with helping to facilitate the intelligent design movement into classrooms.
Santorum praises Johnson in the foreword as someone who has helped promote a group of leaders in the cause of "scientific renewal," according to an advance copy of the foreword obtained from the publisher yesterday by the Associated Press.

Santorum also credits Johnson with assisting him in his efforts to "inject a renewed and unbiased understanding of science and its practice into the curricula of our public schools.
