Is Man a Machine? A. E. Wilder-Smith

[TheWayandWordofLife]

I LOVE THIS GUY!!! A MAN OF WISDOM AND TRUTH!!

[Gangjoyful]

What vers was he reading from at the beginning?

[PinkProgram]

God didn't make me and I don't feel any need to worship humans.

He has no evidence for any of this conjecture.

[Gangjoyful]

@PinkProgram Everything he says is self evident enough to be considered evidence :)

[FOBmuzungu]

good stuff for the renewing of our minds towards the Holy Father, the Holy Counselor, and the Holy Son.

[jungleboiyt]

No one can EVER refute what Dr. W-S speaks on. It's ALWAYS just meaningless monkey babbling, and NOT discussing what He speaks on! That's because there's nothing TO say, no "refuting" the absolutely KNOWN facts he presents... PERIOD. Answer THAT, any "scoffers", then you'll have a leg to stand on. But.. you can't. He's speaking from a depth of knowledge and understanding that those who CHOOSE not to consider (why???) will in fact only scoff at, with nothing BUT mud-slinging worthless babble ;-)

In 1965 Dr. A. E. Wilder-Smith visited and promoted the false claims that dinosaur and human footprints existed at Paluxy River in Dinosaur Valley State Park. These supposed tracks were later discovered to have been forged by creationists.

[Gangjoyful]

So what?

[ftldelay]

@Imaginefree69 - What does that prove? At the time, it was thought to be true, so he mentioned it. Evolutionists have also held up hoaxes as truth which were then later proven to be false. Why don't you talk about that as well, instead of just trying to bash Dr Wilder-Smith? He wasn't above making mistakes, like the rest of us.

[Imaginefree69]

@ftldelay "...he mentioned it."

And 16 years later, "his 1981 work The Natural Sciences Know Nothing of Evolution contains a variety of falsehoods and errors. Kenneth Christiansen, Professor of Biology at Grinnell College, reviewed the book stating "the most fundamental flaw of the book is an apparent confusion or ignorance... concerning our present understanding of the evolutionary process." He further noted that Wilder-Smith's work disregarded basic literature in the field discussed."

[Imaginefree69]

@Imaginefree69 The above quote

is from the Wikipedia article "A. E. Wilder-Smith"

Apparently he was still "mentioning" falsehoods and errors

16 years after being censured for promoting the deliberate Paluxy River hoax,

which Kent Hovind STILL perpetuates today.

These Creationists appear to have little regard for truth

or for professional ethics.

[KingKumaForever]

This man has 4 Doctorates and is a NATO 3 Star General?!?!?

Is that even humanly possible?

"If you Believe that von Neumann teleonomic aggregated matter arose by random chance or by itself, you are beyond medical aid and need to be certified....."

YaHWeH bless this man!

[lita623]

This man has degrees that one can only dream about but because he does not believe in evolution he is a dimwit. That is what all atheists call anyone who disagrees with evolution. Pots trying to call the kettle black, how sad!

[Imaginefree69]

@bluago "It was, of course, a LIE what you read about my religious convictions, a LIE which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."

- From a letter Einstein wrote in English, dated 24 March 1954.

[bluago]

@Imaginefree69 Sorry, I don't know what the hell I was thinking (or if I was at all) when I left that comment. Einstein was not to any extent a Christian Creationist. I left that comment over a year ago, and I must concede that it was incredibly stupid- an exceptional display of poor reasoning and worthless appeals to antiquated authorities.

[Imaginefree69]

@bluago Dude.

[PinkProgram]

@lita623 people who deny facts aren't worth my time. Creationists aren't much better than chimps.

[cannadanarchy]

@lita623 They are both true. Creation of formation through evolutionary process by God.

[fdparis21]

@cannadanarchy thats not true! its either one or the other... check out kent hovind he explains this well

[cannadanarchy]

@fdparis21 creation is not always... BOOM.. there like magic. sometimes creation is the name given to the formation of the universe by an evolutionary process. At least that is my view of creation.

[5tonyvvvv]

@lita623 atheists are MORONS that need to learn Homochirality!!

[broj8s8n79]

This guy is awesome, I have one of his books, 'The Natural Sciences Know Nothing of Evolution'. Thanks for the post!

[RPFS2008]

@broj8s8n79

You should know that the book you mention is full of basic errors and falsehoods.

[heloizyjhenifer]

Of course there are machines that arise from an application of the "darwinian method". By so called genetic algorithms. You get purposeful machines only by random mutation and selection.

The purpose of life is continued existence through reproduction. This "purpose" is only apparent since life and its purpose are unseparable. Thus this purpose loses the meaning we're used to.

[CrabtasticBudgie]

Ignored, by the bored and passionate ignorant.
