Jonathan Wells
Dr. Jonathan Wells is a scientist who objects to the way evolution is taught in America. His book Icons of Evolution exposes ten major distortions of science which evolution advocates and especially biology textbooks use to support standard evolutionary theory.
Wells, a prominent advocate of intelligent design, is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture. [1] Dr. Wells has obtained two Ph.D.s. - one in molecular and cell biology from the University of California at Berkeley, and the other in religious studies from Yale University.[2] Dr. Wells has received criticism for denying the connection between HIV and AIDs without any scientific support. Wells, along with many others, signed a petition which claimed "It is widely believed by the general public that a retrovirus called HIV causes the group of diseases called AIDS. Many biochemical scientists now question this hypothesis. We propose that a thorough reappraisal of the existing evidence for and against this hypothesis be conducted by a suitable independent group. We further propose that critical epidemiological studies be devised and undertaken"[1].
