| Titolo: | Genesis & geology : a very English compromise / David Knight. |
| Abstract: | William Buckland won a medal from the Royal Society in 1822 for researches which seemed to demonstrate the reality of Noah's Flood. In 1830 his pupil Charles Lyell began to publish his Principles of Geology to which the Bible was irrelevant, and its short timescale indeed harmful. When he wrote his Bridgewater Treatise in 1837, Buckland has changed his mind without giving up his faith; he has reinterpreted Genesis in a compromise which was to last for two decades, until Charles Darwin's Origin of Species was published in 1859. The 'victor's history' written by T.H. Huxley and his allies has made it harder to understand Buckland's position, as an ordained clergyman teaching science in a clerical university, and having faith in both geological evidence and biblical revelation; a study of his context is therefore interesting |
