Book Description

Excerpt from Outlines of Oryctology: An Introduction to the Study of Fossil Organic Remains, Especially Those Found in the British Strata The discordance appears to be removed by the assumption of indefinite periods for the six days of creation: an interpretation adopted by many learned and pious men, and which derives confirmation from innumerable circumstances agreeing with the import ant fact of certain fossils being found to be peculiar to particular strata; and especially from the remains of widely differing races of animals being found in such situations as evince that their creation must have taken place at very distant periods.
