A New Theory Of The Earth

- From Its Original, To The Consummation Of All Things (1737)

Bag om A New Theory Of The Earth

A New Theory Of The Earth: From Its Original, To The Consummation Of All Things is a book written by William Whiston in 1737. The book presents a new theory about the creation and end of the Earth, based on Whiston's interpretation of the Bible and his knowledge of science. Whiston argues that the Earth was originally created as a watery planet, and that the Great Flood described in the Bible was a real event that reshaped the Earth's surface. He also proposes that comets played a major role in shaping the Earth's history, and that they will eventually cause the planet's destruction. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a detailed description of Whiston's theory of the Earth's origins and history. The second part focuses on the Great Flood and its effects on the Earth's surface. The third part explores the future of the Earth and the role that comets will play in its destruction. A New Theory Of The Earth was a controversial book when it was first published, as it challenged the prevailing scientific and religious beliefs of the time. However, it had a significant impact on the development of geological and cosmological theories in the centuries that followed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
