Product Description

The Age of the World: Moses to Darwin is a scholarly book written by Francis C. Haber. The book explores the evolution of scientific thought about the age of the earth, from the time of Moses to the era of Charles Darwin. The author traces the evolution of ideas about the age of the earth through the works of various scholars, theologians, and scientists throughout history.Haber begins by examining the biblical account of creation and the various interpretations of the Genesis story throughout history. He then moves on to discuss the contributions of early Greek philosophers, such as Anaximander and Aristotle, to the understanding of the earth's age. The author also covers the contributions of medieval scholars, such as St. Augustine, to the debate over the age of the earth.The book then moves on to the scientific revolution of the 17th and 18th centuries, which brought about significant advances in the understanding of geology and the earth's age. Haber discusses the contributions of scientists such as James Hutton and Charles Lyell, who laid the groundwork for modern geology and the concept of deep time.Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution, which revolutionized scientific thought about the age of the earth and the history of life on earth.Overall, The Age of the World: Moses to Darwin is a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the evolution of scientific thought about the age of the earth. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science and the evolution of ideas about our planet's past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
