Description
Absolutely intriguing! As Babbage considered the eight "Bridgewater Treatises" commissioned by the Earl of Bridgewater contrary to science, he produced The Ninth Bridgewater Treatise. Proclaiming that words of Scripture and facts of nature were not antagonistic to each other, Babbage compares the Creator to a kind of master computer programmer and the operations of the universe to a gigantic program. Babbage also significantly contributed to earth history, introducing a system of tree-ring dating, the first scientific method proposed for this type of archeological dating. Very thorough and easy to read!
