First I should point out that the only aspect of Davies's book under
discussion is the brief excerpt quoted here.  On the basis of that
quotation, the view being suggested is indeed creation science. Whether he
is a Christian fundamentalist or not I have no idea, although the number of
books he has published with "god" in the title suggests something
along those lines.

In any case, Davies is neither a renowned physicist nor philosopher. His
renown rather is that of a popularizer of science. Other than that you
would never have
heard of him. If you were to find the "insights" of such a
popularizer difficult
to understand, the fault would be entirely yours.
