John F. Haught, PhD, is a Roman Catholic theologian and the Landegger Distinguished Professor of Theology at Georgetown University. His area of expertise is systematic theology, with a special interest in issues of science, cosmology, ecology, and reconciling evolution and religion.
Haught, who established the Georgetown Center for the Study of Science and Religion, is the author of many books on the evolution debate, including Is Nature Enough? Meaning and Truth in the Age of Science (2006), Deeper Than Darwin: The Prospect for Religion in the Age of Evolution (2003), and God After Darwin: A Theology of Evolution (1999). In 2005, Haught testified as an expert witness for the plaintiffs in the famous Intelligent Design case of Kitzmiller vs. the Dover Area School District in Pennsylvania, arguing against the school board’s plan to allow Intelligent Design to be taught as an alternative to evolution in public schools.
