Andrew McIntosh is a chemical engineer and Professor of Thermodynamics and Combustion Theory at the University of Leeds. He is one of a small number of scientists who disavow the theory of evolution.
In a debate with Richard Dawkins on BBC Radio Ulster he claimed that the world was six thousands years old, that marine trilobites were made extinct by Noah's flood and that the Second Law of Thermodynamics contradicts the Darwinian theory of evolution. [1] [2]
He is on the board of directors of Truth in Science an organisation which promotes the teaching of Intelligent Design (a theory with no serious proponents amongst evolutionary biologists and no supporting data) in British schools.
He claims that his disagreements with mainstream science are based on empiricism but his pronouncements on the origins of the natural world are generally in strong agreement with the Old Testament.
