Andrew McIntosh is Professor of Thermodynamics and Combustion Theory at the University of Leeds. [1] He has received prizes and recognition for his research on the physics behind the gaseous "cannon" of the bombardier beetle, and his biomimecti application of this research to the design of spray mechanisms which has resulted in several patents. McIntosh is a also a notable young earth creationist, who argues against the scientific consensus on biological evolution, defending a Christian fundamentalist approach. [2] Using his background in aerodynamics and thermodynamics McIntosh argues that creatures such as the Bombardier Beetle and flying creatures in general are unlikely to have been brought about through natural selection. [3]
McIntosh is director of the organisation Truth in Science which promotes creationism and intelligent design. [4] In November 2006, the University of Leeds issued a statement distancing itself from creationism, and noted that McIntosh's directorship of Truth in Science is unconnected with his teaching or research. [4]
McIntosh's research group at University of Leeds has developed a new technology known as µMist which is based on the gaseous "cannon" of the bombardier beetle. In December 2010, this work received the outstanding contribution to innovation and technology title at the Times Higher Education awards in London. [5]
In a debate with Richard Dawkins on BBC Radio Ulster, McIntosh argued that the world was 6000 years old, that marine trilobites were made extinct by Noah's flood and that the Second Law of Thermodynamics contradicts the Darwinian theory of evolution. [6] [7]
