Phillip Johnson: Compares Methodological Naturalism to former Soviet regime

Quote
Behind this student movement is a more general intellectual movement that will bear fruit in the coming century. It is a bit thin on the ground for now, but so was the Christian faith in the first century. Materialism as a philosophy is superficially powerful but moribund, as we saw when the Soviet Union collapsed without a struggle a decade ago. Methodological naturalism is a branch on the materialist tree that will lose its power to intimidate when the tree is known to be hanging in midair.


-- Phillip Johnson, Foreword to "Unapologetic Apologetics" (2001)
