Excerpt from The Deluge in the Light of Modern Science: A Discourse
Fear not, my brother: it can but burn the straw and stubble if gold, it will shine as bright after the fie! Y ordeal as before, and reflect as perfectly the image of truth. The Bible abounds with marvellous stories, stories that we should at once reject from their intrinsic im~ probability, not to say impossibility, if we should find them in any other book. But, among all the stories, there is none that equals the account of the deluge, as given in the sixth, seventh, and eighth chapters of Genesis. It towers above the rest as Mount Wash ington does above the new-england hills; and, as travellers delight to climb the loftiest peaks, I sup pose that many would be pleased to examine this lofty story, and see how the world of truth and actuality looks from its summit.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the story of the great deluge as told in the Bible, critically examining its plausibility in light of scientific advancements. The author methodically presents multiple scientific areas and lenses through which the biblical account can be tested and refuted. Compelling arguments are presented against the possibility of a catastrophic global flood as described in the text. The book draws upon diverse scientific disciplines, including geology, zoology, meteorology, and hydrology, to support its claims. The author's thorough analysis leads to the inescapable conclusion that the biblical account of the deluge is not a historical event but rather a symbolic narrative. By challenging the literal interpretation of this biblical story, the book encourages readers to approach religious texts with critical thinking and to embrace a more nuanced understanding of their significance beyond literal events. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
