Summary "Darwinism. The Noachian Flood" by Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing is a scientific publication presented as a lecture delivered in the early 1870s. The work critically examines the concept of a universal flood as described in the biblical narrative of Noah and contrasts it with Darwinian evolutionary theory. Stebbing argues that the notion of a global deluge poses insurmountable scientific contradictions and ultimately defends a more localized interpretation of the flood narrative. In his discourse, Stebbing methodically dissects the traditional understanding of the Noachian Flood, emphasizing the inconsistencies within the biblical account when viewed through the lens of contemporary scientific knowledge. He challenges the idea of a universal deluge by highlighting the geographical and biological implausibilities of such an event, positing that natural history and geology offer compelling evidence against the narrative's literal interpretation. Stebbing suggests that instead of a global catastrophe, the story reflects a significant regional inundation and explores the implications of this reinterpretation on our understanding of species development and human ancestry in relation to Darwin's theories. Throughout, he advocates for a reconciliation between religious narratives and scientific inquiry, urging a re-evaluation of long-held beliefs in light of new evidence.
