Sinopsis

Excerpt from Dream of a Modest Prophet

The length of time intervening between these successive separations, or planetary births, is, of course, all a matter of speculation. We simply know these periods must have been very long.

If this theory of the creation of the heavens and the earth be correct, then we must conclude that in substance the planets are all the same as the earth, and much like it, and subject to the same natural laws. But the further the planet is from the Sun the rarer will be its substance, and the less heat will it get from the Sun. Hence it is doubtful whether the density and temperature of the outer planets render them inhabitable for man.
