His arguments seem to be coming from the place of personal incredulity and not from a demolition of established theory, which isn't convincing as no-one has ever said the whole shebang of scientific understanding is done and dusted. He sounds like one of the intelligent design crowd to me - or at least he offers no third way that I could find, not there could be one don't you think? At most it will be just a new concept of the same old thing. But I shall read the book because he has a comment on Richard Dawkin's excellent demolition of Paley's argument that the eye is proof of a designer "nothing so complex and perfect could have arisen by chance" they used to say, until Darwinists pointed out that the mammalian eye is actually a crap design and proof of nothing except that we have been bodged up from day one.
