Excerpt from Science and the Bible: A Review of "the Six Days of Creation" Of Prof. Tayler Lewis
Newton, by a flash of his intellect, conceived of the law of gravitation; and as he, inquiringly, looked around and above, he everywhere found testimony that the conception was a fact, a comprehensive truth. At once, cycles and epi cycles, and all the cobwebs of past ages vanished, and our planetary system and the vast universe stood forth in its majestic extent, the whole like a vision from on high. After the thousands of years that the world had existed, there was, at last, a correct apprehension of the actual relations in space of the heavenly bodies. He announced the law of attrae tion and its ratio, called it, for convenience, the law of gravi tation; and by it, the great highways in the heavens have been traced. What before had been thought out, and thereupo'n received as true, proved to be wrong in fact and principle. But who will say that we do not now know the relations of the heavenly bodies, and the law of their mo tions? This law is as immutable as God's will, for it is his ordinance. Newton did not dream about the cause or nature of gravitation; he had read the law, and rejoiced in the re vealed truth.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the harmony between science and biblical text, particularly the Genesis account of creation. The author, a scientist, presents a detailed review of scientific laws, including the conservation of energy and ideas of time, light, and growth. The author then applies these principles to the Genesis narrative, arguing that the Bible's account of creation can be understood as a description of a process rather than a literal, one-time event. The author's approach combines scientific reasoning with a respect for religious tradition, offering a unique perspective on the relationship between science and faith.
