Book Description

Excerpt from An Epitome of General Ecclesiastical History, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Some drill and bore The solid earth, and, from the strata there, Extract a register by which they learn That He who made it, and revealed its date To Moses, was mistaken in its age. But the oldest astronomical observations transmitted to us, are within 300 years before Christ. And the most distant Grecian or Chinese record is within 600 years from the same era. The geological argument for a vast antiquity of the earth, vanishes before the cumulative evidence from the same source of an universal deluge, such as Moses describes, and about the time Specified by him.
