Evolution, The Stone Book, And The Mosaic Record Of Creation (1878)

Evolution, The Stone Book, And The Mosaic Record Of Creation is a book written by Thomas Cooper in 1878. The book is a comprehensive study of the theory of evolution and the biblical account of creation. Cooper examines the geological evidence for the age of the earth and the origins of life, and compares this with the biblical account of creation as described in the book of Genesis.The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the geological evidence for the age of the earth and the origins of life, including the fossil record and the geological formations that have been discovered around the world. Cooper argues that the evidence supports the theory of evolution and that the biblical account of creation should be interpreted as a metaphorical rather than a literal description of the origins of life.The second part of the book examines the biblical account of creation in more detail, focusing on the book of Genesis. Cooper argues that the creation story in Genesis should be understood as a symbolic representation of the origins of life, rather than a literal description of how the world was created.The third and final part of the book examines the relationship between science and religion, and argues that the two are not mutually exclusive. Cooper argues that science can help us to understand the natural world, while religion can provide us with a sense of purpose and meaning in life.Overall, Evolution, The Stone Book, And The Mosaic Record Of Creation is a thought-provoking and insightful study of the theory of evolution and the biblical account of creation. Cooper's arguments are well-reasoned and thoughtfully presented, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of science and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
