The Neptunian, or Water Theory of Creation

"The Neptunian, or Water Theory of Creation" by J. M. Woodman is a late 19th-century exploration into the origins of Earth and the universe, championing the Neptunian theory where water is key to all creation. The author examines various theories, blending scientific and biblical ideas to argue his point. Woodman begins this book, by establishing a detailed analysis of existing creation theories looking at both the Plutonic and Neptunian perspectives. He argues against the idea that Earth came from fire, suggesting that geological evidence points to a cold, water-based creation. Woodman believes science and religious texts can agree, and that the Bible's story of how the world began matches what geology tells us, setting the stage for a big change in how we understand the cosmos.
