I don't appreciate either man, and I've read both. Philip Johnson, in my opinion, talks like a lawyer (and is one, of course) and is well aware that he's twisting things.
Johnson also has a charming habit of denigrating his opponents' motives. He doesn't argue that theistic evolutionist have base motives for their position, he just mentions it in passing.
I like Kurt Wise. He admits that the scientific evidence favors an old Earth, but believes in a young Earth anyway, based on the Bible. He also recognizes the need for a single, consistent young-Earth model that explains all the data, and has put considerable effort into working on one. I find him to be one of the few creationists that thinks more or less like a scientist.
