I recently read the book EVOLUTION, A THEORY IN CRISIS by Michael Denton.
Although I am a Comp Sci major, I enjoy reading about things in other
sciences, and evolution is particularly interesting.  I was wondering what
the general view of this book is from people in the biological field.  Is
it viewed, along with creation science, as a pseudo-scientific work, are
there parts of it which are in agreement with most people in the field, etc.?

From the only review of the book which I have read so far, I understand that
it is viewed fairly highly in France, but scientists in America tend to
be in disagreement about it.  Comments from anyone who has read the book
would be appreciated.
