This biography, edited by the writer and critic Peter Bayne (1830
1896), was published in 1844. Miller (1802 1856), a Scottish
geologist, palaeontologist and evangelical Christian, is best known
for his geological arguments for the existence of God. Miller
sought to demonstrate the accuracy of the biblical creation story
by demonstrating that the seven days of creation correspond to
seven geological periods. Volume 1 covers Miller's early life,
family, education and apprenticeship as a stonemason, and includes
a selection of letters, both private and public, including two that
expound his developing views on religion. The work is a key source
for the life and thought of this fascinating nineteenth-century man
whose life was marked by a passionate commitment to both science
and religion and the ongoing attempt to reconcile the two. It will
invigorate and entertain the modern-day reader.
