Publisher's Synopsis
Religion and Chemistry: Proofs of God's Plan in the Atmosphere and Its Elements is a book written by J. Parsons Cooke. The book explores the relationship between religion and chemistry, arguing that the study of the natural world can provide evidence of God's plan. Cooke examines various elements of the atmosphere, including oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, and how they contribute to the balance of life on Earth. He also discusses the chemical processes that occur in the atmosphere, such as photosynthesis and respiration, and how they are evidence of a divine plan. Throughout the book, Cooke uses scientific evidence to support his arguments and draws on religious texts to provide context. Overall, Religion and Chemistry is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between science and religion.This Volume Contains A Series Of Ten Lectures First Given In 1861 In Response To Charles Darwin's Findings In Origin Of Species, Which Critiqued The Long-Held Belief That The World Was Created And Guided By God. Cooke's Lectures, Which Focus On The Chemical Properties Of The Atmosphere In Providing And Maintaining Life, Attempt To Show How There Is Abundant Evidence Of Intelligent Design Of The Chemical Properties And Interactions Active In The Atmosphere And In The Field Of Chemistry, Showing That There Is Room For The Role Of God In Science In A Post-Darwin Era, And Serving As An Important Means To Furthering The Field Of Natural Theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
