A.E.Wilder-Smith - videos of talks available online

A.E.Wilder-Smith was a pioneer of Intelligent Design in biology, although ID wasn't recognised as something separate from Creationism then. Wilder-Smith was a leading academic, lecturing at Universities in the UK, Switzerland and America. he was also a Vice-President of the Creation Science Movement. One of those books, The Creation of Life a Cybernetic approach to Evolution inspired Dean Kenyon a leading proponent if ID.

“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.” Dr. Dean Kenyon - Professor of Biology, San Francisco State University

There is now a website dedicated to Wilder-Smith, and you can watch some of his talks on video. http://www.wildersmith.org/library.htm
