A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From the time when men first began to think at all, they began to form ideas about that which they found around them; about the origin of the world as they knew it, and we find that at different times they formed different ideas. And the time came when they evolved different idea? as to when all things have been brought about. We find some cthem full of poetry; full of pathos ;certain beautiful simplicity not childish, but child-like simplicity in the accour given in some of the explanations. There is one relation more universal accepted, which implies that Uie earth is a circular, flat region; they recognized the heavens as like a tent spread over it. They first supposed that in the beginning darkness rested on the face Cthe waters, and all was confusion. At last came the time when God said: Let there be light and there was light. And then gradual changes took place, by which the water was separated from the earth, and a separation was made between the earth and the heaven, by which the firmament like a crystal, separated the water above the earth, from the water below. They did not know how rains were formed; how the vapors arose in the atmosphere and then formed clouds. They were not acquainted with the way in which it took place those chemical changes or molecular changes were not known to them. They supposed that rain came from the heaven from beyond the crystalline which they called the firmament.
