However, isn't it true much of what he says? One example; how can the law of conservation of energy( "Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only changed from one form to another" ) and the laws of gravitation exist both at the same time; aren't they massive contradictions?

Not really. And even if they were, the way he uses them is incorrect; if a law contradicts another law, they have more or less equal chance to be wrong.
Gravity seems to be an intrinsic property of mass. If that's the case it wouldn't use energy the same way as being blue doesn't use energy. (think of reflections the same way. A photon hits an object, then bounces off..at the same wavelength! It changed direction, so obviously there was some energy used to change its course, right? Answer:..not really)
EDIT: I should point out that my specialty is biology, not physics. However I have seen this sort of claim with biology as well (hi there, creationists), and the logic matches. Plus the way he advertise his book- "the book our scientists hope you never read". Usually the kind of thing kooks use.
