About this book
The Deluge in the Light of Modern Science, subtitled A Discourse, is by William Denton and holds that "Science is, perhaps, the best test that we can apply to decide the question." The text asks whether the Bible is God's book, saying "On the other hand, if the Bible is not God's book, we ought to know it."
The text asks "Why should the beasts, birds, and creeping things be destroyed?" and also asks "Were the dogs sinners, and the dog-fish saints?" The text says Noah was commanded to build an ark, three hundred cubits long, fifty broad, and thirty high. The text argues that for sloths, confined to South America ever since the pliocene period at least, a mile a day would be a rapid rate and the journey would require about forty years. The text answers an objection that the flood only covered the parts of the earth occupied by man, saying the Bible account does not agree with it.
