PUBLISHER AND AUTHOR: Born in London, my father a Church of England clergyman, I read biochemistry at London's University College, then turned to graphic design. On moving to New York City I became a medical and science writer

My upbringing makes me immune to the lure of the supernatural. I matured first into epiphenomalism, from that into a non-supernatural intelligent design theory. As a result I find myself lodged halfway between the two extremes of scientific materialism and creationism.

Actually, that's probably where most people find themselves. If you think of materialism and creationism as being like a choice between cannibalism on the one hand and strict vegetarianism on the other, what most people want is probably something like beef stew. That's what I offer--the beef stew.

I live in New York State's Hudson Valley where I publish regional Web guides. Shaun Johnston
