Andy McIntosh
Dr Andy C. McIntosh is a Professor (the highest teaching/research rank in U.K. university hierarchy) of Thermodynamics and Combustion Theory at the University of Leeds.[1] He has written many books and lectured extensively in universities. He has mostly focused on the complexity and design inferences illustrated by flight capabilities of organisms. In addition, he works on how many kinds of insects such as bombardier beetles can support the creation model.
He is also the director of the organisation Truth in Science which promotes creationism and intelligent design.[2]
Creationism
In a 2007 discussion with Richard Dawkins on BBC Radio Ulster, McIntosh argued that the principles of thermodynamics are not consistent with Darwinian evolution.[3]
In November 2006, the University of Leeds issued a statement distancing itself from creationism, and described McIntosh's directorship of Truth in Science as being unconnected with his teaching or research.[2]

"Professor Andrew McIntosh's directorship of Truth in Science, and his promotion of that organisation's views, are unconnected to his teaching or research at the University of Leeds in his role as a professor of thermodynamics. As an academic institution, the University wishes to distance itself publicly from theories of creationism and so-called intelligent design which cannot be verified by evidence."
