Johnson's contribution is a reprint of his 1990 ''First Things'' essay "Evolution as Dogma". Marcel-Paul Schützenberger's "The Miracles of Darwinism" is a reprint of a 1996 interview with ''La Recherche''. David Berlinski's "The Deniable Darwin" is a reprint of a 1996 ''Commentary'' essay, along with his responses to critics. The other contributions were specifically commissioned for ''Uncommon Dissent''. In a 2004 review on its Web site, the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture describes ''Uncommon Dissent'' as "a summary of the widespread attack upon Darwinism by some of today’s leading intellectuals."〔(Uncommon Dissent, Intellectuals who find Darwinism Unconvincing ) Center for Science and Culture, June 1, 2004.〕 Mathematics professor and intelligent-design critic Jason Rosenhouse points out that the subtitle says "intellectuals", not "scientists", and adds that "()ery few of the contributors hold PhD's in any field related to biology. ... The ID folks are constantly telling us that evolution is failing as a scientific paradigm, and that scientists are jumping ship in droves. But when they have a chance to put together an anthology of testimonials authored by people who dissent from modern evolutionary theory, they have to resort to philosophers, lawyers or scientists who do not work in any field related to biology."〔(Review of Uncommon Dissent ) Jason Rosenhouse.
