One of the Wilder-Smith classics

A. E. Wilder-Smith was probably the leading twentieth century European creationist. After reading this book, it is easy to see why.I had put off reading Wilder-Smith for some years on the grounds that he is deceased and I figured (naively!) that his work had been superseded by others. However, this is not really the case. This work is as fresh of a basic argument for creationism as one will see in print today. Its compact size is another reason to pick this one up.Set in the form of a fictional conversation between a Neanderthal tribe in New Guinea accidentally discovered by an airplane crash rescue mission, the book proceeds to lay out some simple, yet powerful, philosophical arguments for the creationist/Christian world view. Most other books on this topic utilize technical or biblical data to make their case, but Wilder-Smith actually exercises your mind to think logically in arriving at a rational conclusion to the issue. In the end, evolutionary thinking is shown to be irrational.This is an excellent work for someone with a philosophical bent who wants to briefly examine the basis for the creationist viewpoint. Highly recommended.

Interesting perspective.

Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith is an Oxford-trained scientist who has written a fictional tale of a "modern" men coming across a remote tribe of "Neanderthals". Conversations are held between Mr. Neanderthal and the modern men concerning where the universe came from. The story is mainly conversation, as Dr. Wilder-Smith's aim is to tackle the issue of mere creationism vs. big bang cosmology. The story approuch certainly makes it more interesting. I would recommend this book, espiecially to Christians looking for arguements against a universe created by accident. Although I don't agree with all his ideas, Dr. Wilder-Smith makes many very poignant points.
