Subject: Need Help with a History of Science Question Author: Jiby [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:49:48 10/16/02 Wed Can someone please help me answer this essay question? If so, you can reply with an answer at jiby@ou.edu We need help! Our reading of Newton’s “General Scholium” (1713) and of excerpts from Hutton’s “Theory of the Earth” (1788) provides us with two texts from significant scientific works, both of which can be said to stipulate important links between knowledge of God and knowledge of nature. Compare and contrast the ways Newton and Hutton view these links. That is, what similarities and what differences do you see in the ways the ideas of these two scientists – as expressed in these readings – scientific knowledge (knowledge of nature) with basic ideas about divinity? Do such differences of conviction as are discernible appear to have consequences for the different sorts of scientific reasoning one associates with these two figures?
