The Astonishing Marvels of Migration | Prof. Andy McIntosh
Join Prof. Andy McIntosh on Wednesday November 12, 2025 as he discusses the fascinating topic of: The Astonishing Marvels of Migration! What does migration in birds and insects reveal about their Designer? Birds remarkably not only know where to go, but how much food (fuel) to eat to get there, but also a number of birds leave their young on long journeys that the young make later having never been there before!
About Andy
Prof. Andy McIntosh holds an Emeritus chair in Thermodynamics at the University of Leeds and is also an adjunct professor of Engineering at Liberty University in Virginia. His scientific research career concerns mathematics, combustion and aeronautics, both in academia and in a government establishment, and he is the author of over 200 academic papers. Andy is also the co-inventor of the μMist novel spray technology which copies the bombardier beetle spray system and has led to this spray technology being applied to fuel-additive injectors. Other possible applications include pharmaceutical sprays, aerosols and work is proceeding on fire sprinkler systems. This research was awarded the 2010 Times Higher Educational award for the Outstanding Contribution to Innovation and Technology. Andy is also investigating the fundamental link between thermodynamics and information, relevant to the debate on abiogenesis – the information in living systems is neither matter nor energy but is absolutely essential for life. He is now actively researching the specific energy pathways involved in biochemical systems engineering.
Andy has been involved in leadership and ministry in evangelical churches both in Leeds and more recently in east Lancashire. He has strong links with the work of Young Life, and United Beach Missions / Christian Answer and Andy lectures widely concerning science being entirely consistent with a biblical view of origins. He has authored the books “Genesis for Today” (Day One, 6th Edition, 2017), “A verse by verse examination of Genesis 1-11” (Day One, 2016), co-authored “Wonders of Creation – Design in a fallen world” (with Stuart Burgess and Brian Edwards, Day One, 2017), and contributed to “Origins – examining the evidence” (Truth in Science, 2011), “In six days” (Master Books, 2009) and “Should Christians embrace Evolution?” (IVP, 2009). He has also written the booklet
“Are you really an Atheist?” (2018), co-authored the booklets “Is it True – Evidence for Creation” (2018), “A wonder of Creation – the Kingfisher” (2024), and is co-director of the UK education think tank Truth in Science, and is married with 4 children (one of whom died in infancy), and 7 grandchildren. Andy is involved in the Truth in Science Summer School which runs each year at summer’s end to prepare Christian young people for standing firm at College / University for their Faith against the humanism and atheism pervading the culture.The Astonishing Marvels of Migration
