The Testimony of the Rocks or, Geology in Its Bearings on the Two Theologies, Natural and Revealed

"The Testimony of the Rocks" by Hugh Miller, explores how the study of rocks and fossils connects to ideas about God and creation. The book looks at the history of life on Earth as revealed through geology, and tries to show how these scientific discoveries can fit alongside religious beliefs. Miller focuses on the order and complexity found in fossils, suggesting that the study of ancient plants and animals actually strengthens our understanding of a divine plan. The overall tone is thoughtful, attempting to bridge the gap between science and religion.
