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,[1] and presenting to the Institute of Physics in 1981.
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.
[5] 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".
[6] Despite being a nontrinitarian, Hayward's moderate[citation needed] old-earth creationist stand led to him being invited to write for mainstream publishers Thomas Nelson.
