Book Overview

The Beginnings of Things: Or Science Versus Theology is a book written by John Tyndall in 1874. The book is a collection of lectures delivered by the author in which he explores the conflict between science and theology. Tyndall, a prominent physicist and a member of the Royal Society, argues that scientific inquiry is the only reliable way to understand the natural world and that theology, with its reliance on supernatural explanations, is an outdated and inadequate approach.

The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers. Overall, The Beginnings of Things is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to be relevant to contemporary debates about the relationship between science and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
