The edge of darkness

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chase, Mary Ellen, PUBLISHER: Norton, How the mystery ong>ofong> the Bible's greatest story shaped geology: a MacArthur Fellow presents a surprising perspective on Noah's Flood.In Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah's Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the world's flood stories and--drawing from historic works by theologians, natural philosophers, and scientists--discovered the counterintuitive role Noah's Flood played in the development ong>ofong> both geology and creationism. Steno, the grandfather ong>ofong> geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology's founding principles based on his observations ong>ofong> northern Italian landscapes. Centuries later, the founders ong>ofong> modern creationism based their irrational view ong>ofong> a global flood on a perceptive critique ong>ofong> geology. With an explorer's eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive nature ong>ofong> truth, whether viewed through the lens ong>ofong> science or religion, and how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.
