Who was Thomas Rawson Birks?
Thomas Rawson Birks, theologian and controversialist, was born on 28 September 1810 at Staveley in Derbyshire, England. He figured in the debate to try to resolve theology and science. He rose to be a Knightbridge Professor of Moral Philosophy. His discussions led to much controversy — in one book he proposed that stars cannot have planets as this would reduce the importance of Christ's appearance on this planet.
