...it is possible that Darwin's theory of evolution is false.
It is also possible that the theory of gravity is false.
It is also possible that germ theory is false.
It is possible that every single scientific theory is false because science relies in inductive reasoning - which is falsifiable.
But even if all the science in the world was proved wrong - that wouldn't give one iota of support to creationism.
Showing that something is wrong does not prove something else is correct.
Your desperate search for a single researcher from the 1970's who might have questioned the Theory of Evolution is going to be end up as a failed Appeal To Authority.
And your acceptance of his conclusion (despite it conflicting with a HUGE amount of evidence to the contrary) shows that your are simply cherry-picking evidence.
You don't need a researcher from the 70's to make a logical argument to support creationism: you just need to make a logical argument.

And I wish that I were you
All the things I'd do
To make myself turn blue
