David and Goliath: Or An Attempt to Prove that the Newtonian System of Astronomy is Directly Opposed to the Scriptures is a book written by William Lander and first published in 1833. The book presents an argument against the Newtonian system of astronomy, which was the dominant scientific theory of the time, and claims that it contradicts the teachings of the Bible. Lander argues that the Bible describes a geocentric model of the universe, with the Earth at the center, while the Newtonian system presents a heliocentric model, with the Sun at the center. He also argues that the Bible describes a flat Earth, while the Newtonian system presents a spherical Earth. The book is written in a polemical style, with Lander using biblical quotes and theological arguments to support his claims. It was controversial at the time of its publication and remains a curiosity in the history of science and religion.And In Very Many Instances, Contrary To Reason And Fact.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
