David A. DeWitt

David A. DeWitt less  is that rare type of Creationist who actually holds real credentials, despite working for the creationist school Liberty University and the pseudoscientific research ministry organization Answers in Genesis. DeWitt is a signatory of the Discovery Institute's A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism.

Research
Professor DeWitt has actual research publications in science journals such as Brain Research, Neurotoxicology, Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and Experimental Neurology. His (actual) research primarily revolves around Alzheimer's Disease.

Despite legitimate research, Professor DeWitt has done some (rather poor) research into evolutionary biology in a (failed) attempt to disprove evolution and prove creationism.

In a nutshell, his "research" on evolutionary biology consist of PRATT's, quote mines and Bible references.

Someone with a neurosciences doctorate would be qualified to speak on the evolution of the human brain but this joker does not do any real human biology research relating to evolution.

Career, publications and affiliations
After earning his Ph.D., David A. DeWitt got a job at Liberty University teaching upper level biology courses (Using the term "biology" loosely) and teaching courses at the Institute for Creation Research. Besides teaching biology at Liberty University, he runs the "university's" Center for Creation Studies which pretends to do scientific research.

A rebuttal to Why I rejected Theistic Evolution
This section contains parts of DeWitt's article on why he rejects theistic evolution, and the response by those who support theistic evolution.

The rebuttal by theistic evolution supporters is very good but creationists will find some sort of way to distort what was said. In any case, game set and match- Theistic evolution.
