He came to TO attention in the late 1990's when scientific creationism
was still the major topic on TO. He was some type of MIT
engineer/physicist that conformed to the Salem hypothesis. He probably understood that scientific creationism was bogus, but he could not give
up on the denial. Wiki claims that he believed in directed evolution,
but I just recall denial that biological evolution could not be
accounted for by natural mechanisms. It sounds like his views were
probably similar to Denton's and Behe's before Denton started spouting
his Diestic beliefs around the turn of the century. As I noted, his
last book in 2014 passed without much notice here on TO.
You're still fighting this old battle; but there doesn't seem to be anyone
here arguing /for/ 'scientific creationism' or ID.
