The book discusses this long-standing relationship from a historical point of view, which in the past has been sometimes indifferent, sometimes fruitful and sometimes full of conflict. The relationship continues well into the present. While Christian fundamentalists attack evolution and related palaeontological findings as well as the geological evidence of the age of the Earth, mainstream theologians strive for a fruitful dialogue between science and religion. Much of what is written and discussed today can only be understood, when the historical perspective is added. This book considers the following topics: the development of geology from mythological approaches towards the European Enlightenment, Biblical or Geological Flood and the age of the Earth, geology within 'religious' organizations, biographical case studies of geological clerics and religious geologists, religion and evolution, historical aspects of creationism and its motives.
Excerpt from Geology in Its Relation to Revealed Religion Though geological theories are, for the most part, at variance with Scripture, yet geological facts are not so, nor is Scripture adverse to geology. Religion has no cause to apprehend the progress Of know ledge. Physical truths tend only to confirm the truths Of revelation, if proofs from science can be supposed to add new evidence in favour of Christianity. Religion has ever been the best benefactress of science; and there exists no reason why the truths Of revelation should be opposed to the truths of physical science. None but the. Enemies Of both would employ one to subvert the other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
