The World Makers
This book shows how the emerging discipline of experimental philosophy reacted to the opening chapters of the book of Genesis to interpret the physical origin, present status, and final destination of the Earth. The Royal Society of London was where these new answers to old questions were discussed, by men such as Newton, Hooke, Halley, and Burnet.
