Darwin’s Dangerous Lie – Paul F. Taylor

Darwin’s Dangerous Lie

Description: Recent secular biographies of Charles Darwin, such as that of A.N. Wilson, have undermined the previous hagiographical approach of writers such as Janet Browne. Darwin’s personality flaws have been examined, and shown to have continued into adult life. This talk – the preliminary stage of research into producing a major biography of Darwin from a creationist perspective – examines Darwin’s childhood influences, and his youth, and applies these to the events leading up to the publication of the Origin of Species. The spiritual dimension of that publication is also examined.

Speaker: Paul Taylor was born and grew up near Manchester in the North of England. He studied piano at Chetham’s School of Music, but read Chemistry at the University of Nottingham. Paul taught Chemistry, Physics and Science in government (“public”) schools in England and Wales for 18 years, eventually becoming a Head of Science, with a Masters in Science Education and Management from the University of Cardiff.

Paul was saved at the age of 15. He came across creationist literature in his late teens, and quickly became involved in speaking and writing on the subject of creation and evolution, Genesis and apologetics. Since 2005, he has been a full-time creation speaker, having worked for Answers in Genesis (UK/Europe) and Creation Today. He and his wife are the Directors of the Mount St Helens Creation Center. Paul is married to Geri, and they have five children between them.
