John Phin was notable in that his was the first use of the term "Intelligent Design" in its current meaning. He was also a prolific writer and popularizer of science in the late 1800's.

Go to Amazon and look for books by John Phin - over a century later, some of his books are for sale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulburnett (talk • contribs) 16:16, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Google Phin's book "Practical Hints on the Selection and Use of the Microscope" - 95 hits on Dec 25 2007- not bad for a book from 1878-1882 Paulburnett (talk) 16:35, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I have reservations about him being the first to use the expression "intelligent design" in its current meaning. The Oxford Englist Dictionary has three earlier quotations. TomS TDotO (talk) 10:42, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

There hasn't been any response giving any support for the claim that John Phin was the first to use the expression in its current meaning. I believe that I am justified in removing this claim. TomS TDotO (talk) 18:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
