Invisible Light; Or, the Electric Theory of Creation (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIII. THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION OP THE DELUGE. "Strange and startling coincidences are found in Genesis and geology with reference to the Cenozoic age vindicating the veracity of the revealed record. In this age a new distribution of the mass of the earth took place causing the emergence of land in the Southern Ocean, by the uplifting of the bed of the South Pacific Ocean." So says W. R. Pierce in " Genesis and Modern Science," and he continues: "Abundant evidence of such changes at this period is found in Australia, and South America. Dana, one of the greatest of modern geologists says: 'The tertiarj' movements along the Andes affected half--at least--of South America, this region undergoing an elevation of many thousands of feet.' Accompanying this emergence of the large portions of Australia and South America was doubtless the emergence also of some or all of the Australian chain of islands, and of the Antarctic lands, thus overcoming still further the superior gravity of the Northern Hemisphere and bringing the axis of the earth more nearly toward the perpendicular direction. "It was in this manner by the action of gravitation that the Arctic region once the .torrid zone, now became the frigid zone, and from this new region now of perpetual ice and snow, descended those glaciers or masses of ice which have left their debris and marked with their groovihgs and scratchings the north temperate zone around the earth. Darwin says ' what then has exterminated so many species, and whole genera whose fossil remains are found? The mind is at first irresistibly hurried into the belief of some great catastrophe, for thus to destroy animals so widely scattered we must shake the entire framework of the globe.' If man was living upon the...
