Handsome embossed geometric design and gilt spine titles. A cascade of grievances held by an eminently irritated David N. Lord, who refuses to understand why geologists claim things about the earth that are inconsistent with a literal interpretation of Genesis. The book is formatted with a section of questions at the end of each chapter; it's unclear who they're for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\"David Lord (1792-1880) was a graduate of Yale University and a New York businessman. He and his older brother, Eleazar, were prominent conservative Christians during the nineteenth century. David edited the Theological and Literary Journal from 1848 to 1861, in which he frequently attacked geology and evolutionary biology. Geognosy focuses on the \"false theories of geologists\" and posits that \"The whole Bible, as a revelation, thus stands or falls with the first chapter of Genesis.\" Lord repeatedly affirms his belief in a literal six-day creation which he believed happened \"but six thousand years\" ago. In his view, any theory that contradicts this interpretation of scripture is false. He believes that the geological strata were \"derived from the interior of the earth\" and deposited between creation and the flood, as well as after the flood. Lord downplays the impact of the flood on the geological strata, although his brother, Eleazar, believed that the fossil-bearing strata had their origin in the deluge. The Lord brothers were among only a few creationist writers of the late nineteenth century who insisted on a six-thousand-year-old earth.” Hayward, \u003ci\u003eThe Creation\/Evolution Controversy: An Annotated Bibliography \u003c\/i\u003e(1998).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lord, David N.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46395943583894,"sku":"Q2322","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0315\/9778\/9229\/files\/haec_city-54_91daa2fc-0832-4d95-8efe-c10d4838ab7e.jpg?v=1779750624","url":"https:\/\/alsobooksbooks.com\/products\/geognosy-or-the-facts-and-principles-of-geology-against-theories","provider":"Haec City \/ Also Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
