Dean Kenyon was an up-and-coming OOL researcher. He did indeed write a textbook, though it apparently did not sell well. However, when he had his religious conversion in the early 1970s and adopted creationism, he dropped off thew face of the earth, science-wise. He has failed to produce a single scientific research paper since then, his creationist essays - which do not really count - and his creationist grade-school 'text' notwithstanding.
It seems to me that if all this talk of "Darwinism" shackling the mind and creationism/ID being this paradigm of freedom and open inquiry, that the opposite should have occurred - Kenyon's career should have taken off after his religious conversion. I know - the atheistic evilutionist conspiracy kept him down....
No, fact is, he just stopped doing reserch.
As for Parker, well, I have not met him and do not care to, but meeting someone does not make them 'right', though I have strangely found this attempt at support offered by creationists in the past, to no avail.
