Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in 1879, examines the implications of Herbert Spencer's formula of evolution as a comprehensive explanation of the universe. The author begins by questioning Spencer's formula in terms of its ability to account for the origin and history of matter and motion itself. The book then delves into the evolution of celestial bodies and living organisms, criticizing the idea that combinations of matter in motion alone can sufficiently explain the complexities of life and the permanence of the elements. The author argues that the theory of evolution, as it stands, fails to account for the earliest stages of the universe, the existence of nebulae, and the emergence of life on Earth. Ultimately, the book concludes that a complete understanding of the universe requires a broader perspective than the formula of evolution can provide.
