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." Brilliant defender of the faith!

Actually, I've already read this book a couple of times and will begin the fourth reading,( is my best guess) of it again after I finish the book I'm reading now. This is truly one of the most fascinating and important books I've ever read ..thus the reason I keep reading it again and again.
And once a person reads this gem they need to read the other two he wrote that goes along with this one.....'The Natural Sciences Know Nothing of Evolution' and The Creation of Life-A Cybernetic Approach to Evolution'.
Jesus revealed to the Apostle John in the book of Revelation this about the devil..."And the great dragon was thrown down, the age-old serpent who is called the devil and Satan, he who continually deceives and seduces the entire inhabited world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him....I personally believe this to be the reason why these books aren't being read by the students in our nation and all the other nations on the Earth. These books are just too honest and make too much sense. I believe people would see the error of what they're being taught in the way of Darwinian Evolution, the Big Bang and all that ....and might instead fall in love with their Creator and the Truth of His written Word, the Bible..
I've read comments by people on Youtube who have called A.E.Wilder-Smith names like a "stupid moron" and all that. They apparently don't know anything about this man's education. But that's par for the course as far as how many scientists who are Creationists are treated by many people....and it apparently doesn't matter how intelligent they are or how many doctorates they've earned. Like the three that Dr.Wilder-Smith earned. God bless.
