Michael Denton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael John Denton (born 25 August 1943) is a British-Australian biochemist.

Denton is the author of Evolution: A Theory in Crisis and Nature's Destiny, the former book was instrumental in starting the intelligent design movement.

Denton has been an influential proponent of intelligent design and is a former Senior Fellow of the Discovery Institute, hub of the intelligent design movement. Though Denton asked his name be removed from their website, the institute continues to cite his work in support of its campaign,[1] and his book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis was cited in the appendix of the controversial intelligent design textbook, Of Pandas and People.

Denton received his PhD in Biochemistry in 1973 from King's College London.[2]
