Great Lecture!

[laptoppop]

Dr. A. E. Wilder-Smith has gone to be with the Lord, but thankfully, we still have his writings and some of his talks.

There is a great lecture at http://www.wildersmith.org/library.htm

In particular, I am referencing the lecture entitled "Evolution or Creation"

Here is a partial bio from the same site:

A..E. Wilder-Smith studied natural sciences at Oxford, England. He received his first doctorate in Physical Organic Chemistry at Reading University, England, 1941. During World War II, he joined the Research department of ICI in England. After the war, he became Countess of Lisburne Memorial Fellow at the University of London. Subsequently, Dr. Wilder-Smith was appointed Director of Research for a Swiss pharmaceutical company. Later he was elected to teach Chemotherapy and Pharmacology at the Medical School of the University of Geneva for which position he received his "habitation" (the senior examination required for professorial appointments to European continental universities). At Geneva, he earned his second doctorate, followed by a third doctorate from the ETH (a senior university in Switzerland) in Zurich.

In 1957-1958 Wilder-Smith was Visiting Assistant Professor at the Medical Centre of the University of Illinois, 1959-1961 Visting Full Professor of Pharmacology of the University of Bergen Medical School in Norway. After a further two years at the University of Geneva, he was appointed Full Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Illinois Medical Centre. Here he received in three succeeding years - three ``Golden Apple Awards" for the best course of lectures, together with four senior lecturer awards for the best series of year lectures.


Dr. Wilder-Smith's last Golden Apple award was inscribed, ``He made us not only better scientists, but also better men."

Rom 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Rom 1:21
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Rom 1:22
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.


Waiting for the professor to give his take on this.

I've seen the video series titled Origins: How the world came to be and thought it was absolutely wonderful. He's an excellent teacher who really knows how to transmit complex information in a simple and easy to understand way. We sure need more scientists like him.

I wonder how Wilder-Smith is explaining to God how he could think that false witness would be pleasing to God?

Unfortunately, I see that his false witness is still around and leading other people astray.

In particular, I am referencing the lecture entitled "Evolution or Creation"

And here we have false witness right in the title! After all, evolution and creation are not opposed. Evolution is just the how of creation.

Eh, I think the prof's not on earth anymore.

I suggest you listen to a few of his lectures and read a couple of his books before you accuse him of deliberately lying and deceiving.

These types of statements do not help the discouse around here. They are devoid of any real content -- they are just insults without reason or respect. It is one thing to disagree, it is quite another to be insulting.
