About this title

Synopsis

Examine how scholars of geology in the 1830s weigh the earth’s age and its history.

This analysis contrasts prevailing geological opinions with biblical perspective to illuminate the debates shaping early science.

The work surveys the reasons geologists gave for rapid sediment accumulation, the possibility that different formations could be contemporary, and the idea that some layers were deposited suddenly. It also situates these ideas within broader questions about how science relates to revelation, and how best to teach geology alongside historical and religious narratives.

How the strata and their thickness were understood in the era.
Arguments about the pace of sediment formation and the age of the earth.
Discussion of whether geological formations can be contemporaneous or require re-interpretation of history.
How the Mosaic record and geological theories were compared and tested.

Ideal for readers of science history and those curious about 19th-century geology.
