Synopsis
A Defence Of The Divine System Of The World presents a compelling argument for a geocentric cosmos, asserting that the Earth is stationary while the sun, moon, and stars revolve around it. This polemical treatise by Bartholomew Prescot critiques Newtonian gravity and planetary motion, claiming they are based on fallacies rather than observable evidence. The text begins with a Preface addressing a critic and defends an ancient Pythagorean/Copernican lineage. It challenges the mathematical mechanics of gravity, inertia, and the determination of planetary distances, offering extensive demonstrations of what the author believes to be the true sizes and distances of the sun and moon. The work critiques flawed methods such as parallax, refraction, and aberration, presenting Scripture as the ultimate authority and framing lunar and solar observations as signs of divine design. Ultimately, the volume reaffirms biblical cosmology and advocates for the rejection of the Newtonian paradigm.
