Jonathan Wells

From RationalWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Jonathan Wells is a member of the Discovery Institute and a follower of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, and a prominent advocate of intelligent design, as well as the author of Icons of Evolution and Regnery Press' Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design. Along with Michael Behe, he is one of the few in the movement with demonstrably legitimate credentials (he has a Ph,D. in biological science), though he has been attacked for obtaining that degree under apparently false pretenses.

Despite his credentials, he has been caught bullshitting or outright lying on many occasions, and his books are generally considered garbage by mainstream science.
