Excerpt from General View of the Geology of Scripture, in Which the Unerring Truth of the Inspired Narrative of the Early Events in the World Is Exhibited, and Distinctly Proved
I am fully aware of the objections which have frequently been raised to the endeavours to connect physical facts with the details of scripture; and I am, also, aware of~the mischief that has sometimes ensued to the cause Of religion, from the imprudent or unskilful defence made by those whose Wishes and intentions were the most friendly to it.

In presenting the following pages to the judgment of the world, I have reason to fear, that the very title of the work will excite, in the minds of some, feelings by no means favourable to an unprejudiced perusal of it.
I am fully aware of the objections which have frequently been raised to the endeavours to connect physical facts with the details of scripture; and lam, also, aware of the mischief that has sometimes ensued to the cause of religion, from the imprudent or unskilful defence made by those whose wishes and intentions were the most friendly to it.
The course of every science must be progressive; beginning in faint attempts to dissipate the obscurity of ignorance, and gradually advancing towards the full light of truth. To this usual course, the science of geology cannot be considered as an exception, having already passed through some of its early stages, which were avowedly marked with obscurity and error. During these stages of geological ignorance, I am free to admit, that the attempt to connect the supposed discoveries in the physical phenomena of the earth, with the truths announced to us in the sacred record, could not but tend to injure either the one cause or the other; because, it is impossible that any concord can exist between truth and error.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book brings forth an intricate examination of the connection between geology and scriptural truths. The author, an avid geologist and traveler, discovered a dissonance between the theories of the day and what he understood from the Bible's depiction of the origins of the world. This dissonance led him to deeply examine the Mosaic account of creation, as well as the secondary formations that followed. The author uses this analysis to reconcile Scripture with the physical world as we know it, using the latest scientific discoveries to support his biblical interpretations. The book delves into subjects such as the density of the earth, the causes of the deluge, fossil remains, and the formation of the continents. The work also disputes several theories put forth by geology's leading minds, and posits that a literal reading of scripture, when combined with modern scientific knowledge, provides a more accurate understanding of the earth's history than the leading scientific theories of the day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
