The death and resurrection of Christ are cornerstones of redemption, giving us eternal life.

Arthur Ernest Wilder-Smith

Arthur Ernest Wilder-Smith (1915–1995) war ein britischer Chemiker, Pharmakologe und evangelikaler Apologet, der nach internationalen Lehraufträgen viele Jahre in der Schweiz lebte und publizierte. Er vertrat einen kreationistischen Ansatz und argumentierte mit biochemischen sowie informationstheoretischen Modellen gegen die Evolutionstheorie, was in der naturwissenschaftlichen Fachwelt auf breite Ablehnung stieß. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sein Werk den Versuch konservativ-evangelikaler Apologetik, naturwissenschaftliche Argumente mit einem wörtlichen Verständnis der biblischen Schöpfungsberichte zu verbinden.

Death in its substance has been removed, and only the shadow of it remains… Nobody is afraid of a shadow, for a shadow cannot block a man’s pathway for even a moment. The shadow of a dog can’t bite; the shadow of a sword can’t kill.
