A glance at a deathbed often reveals more than the great words and deeds of a lifetime. Facing death, many people drop their masks and become truthful.

Detschko Svileno

Detschko Svilenov (* 1941) ist ein bulgarischer Mediziner, Theologe und evangelikaler Apologet, der in Sofia sowie an deutschen Forschungseinrichtungen tätig war. Er vertritt eine dezidiert kreationistische Schöpfungslehre und setzt sich in Veröffentlichungen für die Vereinbarkeit konservativer Bibelauslegung mit naturwissenschaftlich-medizinischen Fragestellungen ein. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sein Werk den Versuch, theologische und ethische Positionen naturwissenschaftlich zu begründen, wobei seine Ablehnung der Evolutionstheorie in der Wissenschaft als pseudowissenschaftlich kritisiert wird.
