Michael Denton

Dr. Michael Denton (b. Born::August 25, 1943) is a Senior Research Fellow in Human Genetics in the Biochemistry Department at the University of Otago in New Zealand. In 1985, as an evolutionist, he wrote the controversial book "Evolution: A Theory in Crisis" because, he said, "I think the current Darwinian picture is insufficient. I don't think it gives a credible and comprehensive explanation of how the pattern of life on earth emerged." [1]

Evolution: A Theory in Crisis exposed thousands of readers to "the overwhelming scientific problems of Darwinian belief." [2]

Dr. Denton studied medicine at Bristol University and developmental biology at Kings College, London University, where he gained a PhD in 1974. He trained in Pathology at the Post-Graduate Medical School, London, and at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.

He has held university lectureships in Australia—in Sydney and Melbourne—and for many years his main research focus has been on the genetics of human retinal disease. He has had a long interest in evolutio

Is Michael Denton's work valid?

Pastore:

So in looking up this Dr. Denton, I was surprised to see he has PhD in Biochemistry and is an agnostic.
Is anyone familiar with Denton’s work? I imagine this has been covered previously here. I wonder what Dr. Collins think of him?

Anti-science tactics 101

The PhD Supporter

One of the things that is worth more currency than gold in contrarian science organizations are people with advanced degrees who agree with them. The advanced degree doesn’t even have to be directly related to the topics at hand, but the closer the better. It doesn’t matter if 10,000 other people with PhDs in biochemistry disagree with the person, so as long as they can find one person with a smart sounding degree that agrees with them.

A recent example would be how Robert Malone became one of the faces of the anti-vaccine movement because he claimed to be the inventor of mRNA vaccines. So if the inventor of mRNA vaccines speaks against them, people listened way more than they should have. Never mind the fact that hundreds of other individuals were i

This article requires expansion. Please help.

Though not a stub by pure word count, this article lacks depth of content.

Michael John Denton (1943–) is a British-Australianintelligent design proponent, best known for writing Evolution: A Theory in Crisis.

Overview

He has a PhD in biochemistry from King's College London. His work and publications have not met any positive views from the scientific community — other than pseudoscience promoters. At first Denton made many claims in his first publication Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, but his later publication, Nature's Destiny, contradicted many of his previous views.

Evolution

Denton in his book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis opposed the neo-Darwinian mechanisms of evolution as he claimed there was no gradualism in the fossil record; however he still advocated natural selection which he believed (similar to many creationists) could explain only microevolution. His main argument was against natural evolutionary theories, as in the book he wrote that evolution cannot explain
