Excerpt from Genesis OneAssuming that the hypothesis is true, that the earth is an off-shoot from the sun, we may conclude that the same elements are in the earth that are in the sun. In stating this as sumption the possibility is recognized that the mass may have acquired one or more elements from the atmosphere of the sun, and from the ether through which it whirled, and from the other heavenly bodies in the form of sky-dust.The belief is that in the sun the elements are in an uncombined state. If this is true then it takes little imagination to visualize what wonderful chemical changes took place when this thrown-off mass became harnessed to its own orbit and began life as an individual entity in the universe. From being a portion of a fixed star it became a rotating planet.At the present time ninety-one elements have been identified, and if Moseley's classification proves to be correct, there is but one more to be discovered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
