Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation: With a Sequel It is, in t e first place, remarkable, that the planets all move nearly in one plane, corresponding with the centre of the sun's bod N ext, it is not less remarkable, that the motion of t e sun on its axis, those of the planets around the sun, and the satellites around their primaries, ' and the motions of all on their axis, are in one direction - namely, from west to east. Had all these matters been left to accident, the chances against the uniformity which we find would have been, though calculable, inconceiva bly greet Laplace states them at four millions of millions to one It is thus powerfully impressed on na, that the uniformity of the motions, as well as their general adjust ment to one plane, must have been a consequence of some cause acting throughout the whole system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation It is familiar knowledge that the earth which we inhabit is a globe of somewhat less than 8000 miles in diameter, being one of a series of eleven which revolve at different distances around the sun, and some of which have satellites in like manner revolving around them. The sun, planets, and satellites, with the less intelligible orbs termed comets, are comprehensively called the solar system, and if we take as the uttermost bounds of this system the orbit of Uranus (though the comets actually have a wider range), we shall find that it occupies a portion of space not less than three thousand six hundred millions of miles in extent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Theory of Creation: A Review of "Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation" We have no means of judging of the seniority of systems; but it is reasonable to suppose, that, among the many, some are older than ours. There is, indeed, one piece of evidence for the probability of the comparative youth of our system, alto gether apart from human traditions and the geognostic appear ances of the surface of our planet. This consists in a thin neb ulous matter, which is difi'used around the sun to nearly the orbit of Mercury, of a very oblately spheroidal shape. This matter, which sometimes appears to our naked eyes, at sunset, in the form of a cone projecting upwards in the line of the sun's path, and which bears the name of Zodiacal Light, has been thought a residuum or last remnant of the concentrating matter of our system, and thus may be supposed to indicate the com arative recentness of the principal events of our cosmogony. Uppos ing the surmise and inference to be correct, and they may be held as so far supported by more familiar evidence, we might with the more confidence speak of our system as not amongst the elder born of Heaven, but one whose various phenomena, physical and moral, as yet lay undeveloped, while myriads of others were fully fashioned and in complete arrangement. Thus, in the sublime chronology to which we are directing our inquir ies, we first find ourselves called upon to consider the globe which we inhabit as a child of the sun, elder than Venus and her younger brother Mercury, but posterior in date of birth to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus; next, to regard our whole system as probably of recent formation in comparison with many of the stars of our firmament. We must, however, be on our guard against supposing the earth as a recent globe in our ordi nary conceptions of time. From evidence afterwards to be ad duced, it will be seen that it cannot be presumed to be less than many hundreds of centuries old. Pp. 22, 23.

This book was released on 1994-08-15 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1844, Vestiges sparked one of the great intellectual controversies of the century. Integrating research in anthropology, geology, astronony, biology, economics, and chemistry, it was the first attempt to connect the natural sciences into a history of creation. The author, whose identity was not revealed until 1884, was Robert Chambers (1802-71), a leading Scottish writer and publisher. Vestiges reached a huge popular audience in Europe and America and was widely read by the social and intellectual elite. It fostered debate about natural law, setting the stage for the controversy over Darwin's Origin. In response to criticism, Chambers published Explanations: A Sequel, which offered a reasoned defense of his ideas about progressive development, castigating what he saw as the narrowness of specialist science. This volume, which also includes Chambers's earliest cosmological writings, a bibliography of reviews, and a comprehensive new index, illuminates the changing meanings of science and religion in the Victorian era and the rise of secular ideologies in Western culture. -- from back cover.
