| Résumé : |
Where did the order which arose in the random chaos of prebiotic earth originate? How was this order imposed on the elemental building blocks of matter to produce self-replicating life? These are nagging questions raised whenever 20th century scientists are concerned, publicly or privately, with the question of origins. In The Creation of Lite Dr. A. E. Wilder Smith probes the varied means by which scientific materialists have attempted to solve these problems. He finds their answers far from convincing. Further, he approaches this vital and fascinating area of controversy from a new angle. Bringing to bear recent and startling evidence supplied by the computer sciences he proves that information and order, including that of life itself, is always the result of intelligence rather than chance reactions.
The Creation of Life, like its predecessors Man’s Origin, Man's Destiny and The Drug Users, is a disturbing book. It should be read by those who are prepared to think through, without bias or preconception, evidence which may radically modify their view of life and its meaning. |
