A New Theory of the Earth - William Whiston - Bog

A New Theory of the Earth is a book written by William Whiston in 1737. The book presents a comprehensive theory of the creation and end of the Earth, from its original state to the final consummation of all things. Whiston was a prominent mathematician and theologian of his time, and he used his knowledge of both fields to develop this theory.The book begins with a discussion of the biblical account of the creation of the Earth, and Whiston argues that this account is scientifically accurate. He then goes on to describe how the Earth was formed from a chaotic state, and how it has evolved over time. Whiston also discusses the role of comets in shaping the Earth's surface, and how they have influenced the course of human history.One of the most controversial aspects of Whiston's theory is his belief in a catastrophic flood that occurred in ancient times. He argues that this flood was responsible for many of the geological features we see today, and that it had a profound impact on human civilization.Throughout the book, Whiston emphasizes the importance of understanding the natural world in order to better understand God's plan for humanity. He argues that science and religion are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary fields of study.Overall, A New Theory of the Earth is a fascinating exploration of the history and future of our planet, written by a brilliant thinker of the 18th century.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1737 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
