Anyone have resources pertaining to this individual?
In a debate and the opponent likes to refer to his works.

There's not much I'm afraid, at least via Google.

This might be handy though:
<a href="http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/theism/christianity/apologetics.html#bradley" target="_blank">Infidels library article</a>

I note, unsurprised, that Bradley's qualifications are not in the least relevant to evolution. He may be educated, but he is no more an expert on it than Richard Dawkins is on oriental musicology.

Didn't know who he was before, but I do now.

As Oolon said, his specialty ain't evolutionary science. He preaches pretty good, though.

Since when is that relevent?

That's the approach I have been taking so far. A PHD in material sciences and engineering from a geology/mining school does not make for a relevent education. I also pick apart his works and show fallacies and why they are a failing of the logic. He likes appeal to authority quite a bit, and a particular fondness for appeal to majority as a follow up to an assertation of an evolutionary failing.

"No monkey has ever turned in to a bug, so 10 million christians must be right." type of arguements.
