Astro-Theology; Or, the Religion of Astronomy e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is my daily happiness, as one who holds a rational and free theology, to know and feel that Revealed Religion hails, instead of deprecating, the great discoveries of Science; in other words, that the voice of God in Creation harmonizes with that of His Gospel.<br><br>It is also, I grieve to say, my uniform observation, beyond the circle of avowed Unitarian Christians, that Science and Theology are accustomed to look upon each other with a greater or less degree of jealousy and suspicion; - the scientific man seldom daring freely to avow the most religious conclusions he draws from the study of Nature; the theologian dabbling very cautiously in the mere shallows of Science, lest he should plunge unawares into religious heresy.
