Publisher's Synopsis
""The Story of Creation as Told by Theology and by Science"" by T.S. Ackland is a comprehensive exploration of the origins of the universe, humanity, and life itself. The book presents two different perspectives on the story of creation: one from a theological standpoint, and the other from a scientific one. The theological perspective delves into the creation story as told in various religious texts, including the Bible and the Quran. It examines the beliefs and interpretations of different religious traditions and how they understand the origins of the universe and humanity. The scientific perspective, on the other hand, explores the theories and discoveries of modern science, including the Big Bang theory, evolution, and the origins of life on Earth. It examines the evidence for these theories and how they have changed over time as new discoveries are made. Throughout the book, Ackland seeks to reconcile these two seemingly opposing viewpoints, showing how they can complement each other and offer a more complete understanding of the story of creation. He also explores the implications of these different perspectives for our understanding of humanity's place in the universe and our relationship with the divine. Overall, ""The Story of Creation as Told by Theology and by Science"" offers a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most enduring and fundamental questions of human existence.It is, then, by no means impossible that changes, which now only become discernible with the lapse of centuries, might, at some past period of our globe's history, have been the work of years only. Nor is it at all probable that the present rate of change, which is assumed as the basis of the calculation, is known with any approach to accuracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
