 John William Dawson: Faith, Hope, and Science by James Opp   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Born in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, in 1820, Dawson attended Thomas McCulloch’s Pictou Academy, where he was exposed to up-to-date scientific instruments, a rigorous training in the classics, and a library that held fifteen copies of Paley’s Natural Theology.
Considering the fact that Dawson’s ‘popular’ writings were expressly concerned with harmonizing religion and science in the face of an encroaching materialism, the neglect of this religious background is hardly a minor issue.
Dawson did make highly original contributions through his work on paleobotany and on Maritime geology, but how are we to evaluate his other scientific writings, such as the defence of the organic nature of the Eozoön fossil and his rejection of land glacialization?
