How the thriller of the Bible’s best tale shaped geology: a MacArthur Fellow presents a shocking standpoint on Noah’s Flood.
In Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery observed a neighborhood tale about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah’s Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the world’s flood tales andâ€"drawing from historic operates by theologians, pure philosophers, and scientistsâ€"discovered the counterintuitive function Noah’s Flood played in the growth of both geology and creationism. Steno, the grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology’s founding ideas based mostly on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries later on, the founders of modern creationism based their irrational see of a global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer’s eye and a refreshing technique to both faith and science, Montgomery normally takes readers on a journey throughout landscapes and cultures. In the method we learn the illusive nature of fact, whether or not seen by way of the lens of science or faith, and how it altered via background and carries on shifting, even nowadays.
