Riassunto

Excerpt from Lectures on the Origin of the Globe: An Universal Deluge-the Destruction Deluge-the Destruction and Re-Formation of Our Solar System

In combatting, for instance, Opinions, which I advanced, respecting the confiagration and disappearance of stars, and the creation of new ones, he quoted Swedenborg, as his authority for the sentiment, that, when the stars disap peared, their light became veiled by an incrus tation, like an egg shell, and was thus covered for years or ages, until, at length, by the self moving effervescence of the internal fires, that shell was burst asunder and thrown off around the central light in the form of worlds. Thus he evidently disclaimed, altogether, the agency of the Almighty in the origination of those worlds, and was, so far, a practical atheist.
