Experience the intellectual fire of Victorian science with Thomas Roscoe Stebbing's 1870 lecture, 'Darwinism. The Noachian Flood.' Delivered before the Torquay Natural History Society, this compelling work navigates one of the most explosive scientific debates of the 19th century — the conflict between Darwinian evolution and traditional biblical flood narratives. Stebbing weaves together geological evidence, biological observation, and theological reflection in a manner that remains intellectually rigorous and deeply engaging.\n\nThis EPUB edition preserves the original 1870 lecture, offering readers a rare window into how the scientific community grappled with the implications of natural selection. Whether you are a student of evolutionary history, a fan of Victorian scientific literature, or a curious reader interested in the history of science, this text provides a fascinating case study in intellectual transition. Read the full lecture and decide for yourself where the evidence points.
