Edgar Harold Andrews (born 16 December 1932) is an English physicist and engineer known for his creationist views.

In 1967 he set up[2][3] the Department of Materials at Queen Mary College, University of London, and served both as its head (from 1986 to 1980)[4] and as Dean of Engineering (1971–1974).

[7] He has published over 100 scientific research papers and books, together with two Bible commentaries and various works on science and religion and on theology.

On 28–30 September 1972, Andrews was one of four speakers invited to address an international audience of over 400 scientists at the Michigan Molecular Institute's Dedication Symposium, along with Nobel Laureates Paul J. Flory and Melvin Calvin, and Donald Lyman.

[11] Andrews is described by historian of creationism Ronald Numbers as the United Kingdom's "most respected creationist scientist of the late twentieth century", a Reformed Baptist, and a convert to Whitcomb and Morris' flood geology since the 1960s.

However, Andrews rejected some elements of the latter, particularly dogmatic acceptance of a young Earth, even going so far as to suggest that the first day of creation "might be of indefinite length".

[12] However, on page 106 of his latest book Who made God?, Andrews notes – citing from his earlier work From nothing to Nature (chapter 9) – that he believes the whole universe, including the earth, was created ex-nihilo in verse 1, 'with no reference to how long ago that happened'.
