The Bible and Ultimate Reality - Robert A Ginskey - February 1979

Robert A Ginskey

"Of what is the world composed?" is a question that has intrigued men for millennia. Many answers have been proposed, revised, discarded, revived. Historically the ancient Greek philosophers proposed that the four basic ingredients of nature were earth, wind, air and fire. A glass of wine, for example, was obviously a mixture of water and earth, and if there were bubbles, air. Similarly a tree was thought to be a mixture of earth and water, with perhaps a little air and fire as well. The sun, on the other hand, was often considered to be pure fire. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
