EspañolA. E. WILDER-SMITH
'Arthur Ernest Wilder-Smith' (1915 - 1995), more commonly known as 'A. E. Wilder-Smith', was a creationist and a chemist.
Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith is author and co-author of over 70 scientific publications and more than 30 books which have been translated into many different languages. He was one of few scientists in the world to have three earned doctorates. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a NATO three-star general.
Dr. Wilder-Smith and creationist physicist Edgar Andrews debated biologists Richard Dawkins and John Maynard Smith in the Oxford Union's Huxley Memorial Debate in 1986.This debate is on CD, and can be viewed by clicking here. Wilder-Smith is probably responsible for Richard Dawkins refusing to debate creationists any more.
Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith was not only an expert on chemotherapy, pharmacology, organic chemistry, and biochemistry, but a gifted teacher and popular public speaker. He appeared prominently in an award-winning creation film series titled 'Origins: How the World Came to Be'.
More on Dr. Wilder Smith, including free videos and MP3s of his popular lectures, can be found at the Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith website.
After his death in 1995, Professor Dr. Alma von Stockhausen, a pronounced Catholic scholar, dean at the Gustav-Siewerth-Akademie in Weilheim-Bierbronnen - a small private academy in Germany - had this to say about Wilder-Smith [1]:
“It is to Professor Wilder-Smith that I owe the scientific falsification of evolutionary theory, which had become the scientific concretion of Hegelian dialectics as the alternative to metaphysics and theology. Wilder-Smith was the first and only person to have the courage to refute evolutionary theory as a whole on a principle level. In the meantime there are a number of renowned critics of single aspects of evolutionary theory. But nobody has dared attack or question evolutionary theory as such outside of the narrow confines of their own specialty. This is because no philosopher or scientist has identified and recognized the diabolic perversion of the substitution of principles: development of the spirit out of nature at the expense of individual particularities—instead of the incarnation of the spirit for the redemption of persons enslaved by sin.”''
Others also commented on the life and work of the gregarious Doctor,
“Professor Wilder-Smith’s brilliant mind and extensive scientific training and research have not only been devoted to the service of mankind in general but has also been devoted to the service of God in particular. Utilizing his vast store of knowledge and unique and brilliant abilities to communicate, Professor Wilder-Smith has proclaimed the truth of God’s creation and His sustaining grace through both the spoken and written word with tremendous effectiveness.”
—Duane Gish
Vice-president, Institute for Creation Research, San Diego, California
"It was an unforgettable experience to listen to his lectures on fundamental problems on the evolutionary doctrine and Biblical creation. His outstanding personality, his far-reaching knowledge and his unique talent to fascinate during lectures attracted many listeners throughout the world. In remembering Wilder-Smith, innumerable Christians are grateful to their Lord for this fearless witness who helped many to jettison pseudo-scientific ballast and to find access to the living Word of God. May our Lord grant that the mighty witness of Wilder-Smith may continue to reach many people through this present work even after his home-going, and that it may glorify the Creator of heaven and earth."
—Professor Dr. Theodor Ellinger
Rector of Cologne University, Cologne, Germany
“Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith was one of the two or three most important scientists in my life. He very powerfully influenced my intellectual development and my change of opinion on the origin of man. His writings, in particular The Creation of Life and The Scientific Alternative to Neo-Darwinian Evolutionary Theory, and the discussions I had with him were outstanding and had a great impact on my views and thoughts on origins. He was a courageous, supportive and gracious man, and he is greatly missed.”
