- Johnson's argument is that evolution and creation
are the only two possible explanations for the origins
of modern lifeforms
- Scott argumentatively addressed this argument by
listing at least one other possible explanation:
self-organization
- The possible explanations for the origins of modern
lifeforms at least include evolution, creation, and
self-organization
- Johnson is guilty of a false alternative

Do you agree Lamarckism vs. creation would be a false
dichotomy in 1809? If so, does it not follow that
evolution vs. creation is a false dichotomy in 2005?
