Ruse was a witness for the plaintiff in the 1981 test case ( McLean V. Arkansas ) of the state law permitting the teaching of "creation science" in the Arkansas school system (signed by governor Frank White ). The federal judge ruled that the state law was Unconstitutional . Ruse takes the position that it is possible to reconcile the Christian religion with Evolutionary Theory, unlike, for example, Richard Dawkins , Phillip E. Johnson or Edward O. Wilson . He now debates regularly with William A. Dembski , a known proponent of Intelligent Design .

Ruse is a prolific author published by prestigious university presses. He founded the scientific journal Biology And Philosophy and has published numerous books and articles.
