The Development Of Creation On The Earth PDF Download

Excerpt from The Development of Creation on the Earth The phenomena of nature, to which the following pages relate, cannot present themselves to any thinking mind Without claiming from it some solution. Hitherto we have been accustomed to suppose that we had before us, in an inspired record, a reliable account, in outline, of this earth's history, exhibiting to us the manner in which all things we observe were put into shape, or called into being, and the time when this was effected but as knowledge has advanced, the Biblical representa tions have become exposed as untenable, so that with most instructed persons it has become a necessity to frame, upon the ascertained facts, some surer ideal of the mode in which the creative processes have been carried out, and to form some conception of the true probable periods involved in bringing them to their present stage of development.
