Dr. Alan Hayward (1923–2008) was a British engineer and physicist who was also active as an old-earth Creationist writer, and Christadelphian. Hayward's primary field of research was fluid density and flowmeters, writing a textbook on the subject.〔Alan Hayward ''Flowmeters: a basic guide and source-book for users'' 1979 Wiley New York〕 and presenting to the Institute of Physics in 1981.〔''Journal of Physics: Scientific instruments: Volume 14 1981 "The meeting continued with a talk by Dr Alan Hayward of Moore, Barrett & Redwood Limited on Developments in Flow and Density Measurements."〕 As a Christadelphian lay preacher Hayward had commenced writing on general religious topics for the Christadelphian Auxiliary Lecturing Society during the early 1970s. In particular his booklet on the characteristic (Socinian) belief of Christadelphians against the personal pre-existence of Christ remains that church's most widely circulated publication on that topic.〔Hayward (Did Jesus really come down from heaven? ) CALS Birmingham〕 Other publications included ''The Real Devil'' against belief in supernatural evil.〔Hayward ''(The Real Devil )'' CALS〕 As a Christian, and a scientist, though not a biologist, he was soon involved in the subject of creation.〔''Physics bulletin'' Volume 35 Letters to the Editor 1984〕 In New Scientist (11 March 1992 issue) Hayward is cited speaking of "the quiet majority of Bible-believing creationists" who accept the "evidence of physics and geology that the Universe and our planet are billions of years old".〔11 Mar 1982 Page 656 Vol. 93, No. 1296〕 Despite being a nontrinitarian Hayward's moderate old-earth creationist stand led to him being invited to write for mainstream publishers Thomas Nelson. He published three books which for a time were widely circulated: ''God is'' (1980),〔Hayward ''God is: A scientist shows why it makes sense to believe in God'' Thomas Nelson〕 ''God's truth'' (1983) – a work dealing with textual defence of the Bible,〔Thomas Nelson 1983〕 and ''Creation and Evolution'' for SPCK (1985),〔Alan Hayward, ''Creation and Evolution: The Facts and Fallacies'' London: SPCK / Triangle, 1985〕 which was widely cited〔Keith B. Miller, ''Perspectives on an evolving creation'' 2003 page 453; James Porter Moreland, Paul Nelson, John Mark Reynolds, ''Three views on creation and evolution'' 1999 page 107, "old earth creationist works include Alan Hayward, Creation and Evolution..."; Davis A. Young, Ralph F. Stearley, ''The Bible, Rocks and Time: Geological Evidence for the Age of the Earth'', 2008 page 157; Howard J.

Hayward's old-earth views were not welcomed by young earth or flood geology creationists, and his nontrinitarian views were often pointed out in criticism.〔Ron J. Bigalke, Jr ''The Genesis Factor: Myths and Realities'' 2008 Page 126 "For example, the author Alan Hayward claims to be a "Bible-believing Christian." Hayward is a Christadelphian physicist... "〕 His three main books have since been reprinted in India.〔Hayward, Alan (1995). Does God Exist? Science Says Yes!. Hyderabad: Printland Publishers, back cover. ISBN 0-551-05585-5.〕 ''God is'' was translated into German〔Hayward ''Es gibt Ihn doch!'' Esslingen〕 and Bengali, and ''God's Truth'' into Chinese. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alan Hayward」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
