What reading level is A History of the Warfare of Science With Theology in Christendom book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CHAPTER VII.
THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN AND PREHISTORIC ARCHAEOLOGY.
I. THE THUNDER-STONES.
While the view of chronology based upon the literal ac- ceptance of Scripture texts was thus shaken by researches in Egypt, another line of observation and thought was slowly developed, even more fatal to the theological view.
From a very early period there had been dug from the earth, in various parts of the world, strangely shaped masses of stone, some rudely chipped, some polished : in ancient times the lar...ger of these were very often considered as thunderbolts, the smaller as arrows, and all of them as weapons which had been hurled by the gods and other supernatural personages. Hence a sort of sacredness at- tached to them. In Chaldea, they were built into the wall of temples; in Egypt, they were strung about the necks of the dead; in India, fine specimens are to this day seen upon altars, receiving prayers and sacrifices.
Naturally these beliefs were brought into the Christian mythology and adapted to it.
