Omphalos: An Attempt to Untie the Geological Knot by Philip Henry Gosse
"Omphalos: An Attempt to Untie the Geological Knot" by Philip Henry Gosse is a book written in 1857 that presents a striking theory about creation and the fossil record. Gosse argues that God created the world with built-in evidence of a false past—like giving Adam a navel despite having no mother. The book attempts to reconcile geology with Genesis by suggesting all fossils represent an illusory pre-existence. Though logically consistent, it was
immediately rejected and ridiculed by both religious and scientific communities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
