Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Theology in the Nineteenth Century Mr. Darwin, not on account of his views as to evolution, but because of the valuable additions which, in the course of his labours on that subject, he has made to our know ledge of Natural History, and in deference to the position which he holds in the scientific world. But any one acquainted with the University of Cambridge forty years ago, will be aware that, at that time, a far greater claim than that which Mr. Darwin now has for the distinction, would have utterly failed to obtain it for him, if coupled with the views which he holds as to evolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Theology in the Nineteenth Century Paley thought it necessary to apologize for his 'Natural Theology.' He says it will be urged that his readers leave off where they began; that they never doubted the existence of a God; and that it does not appear what is gained by researches upon a subject of which no proofs were wanted. But, he says, occurrences will arise to try the firmness of our most habitual opinions; and upon these occasions it is matter of incalculable use to feel our foundation; to find a support in argument for what we had taken up upon authority.

Download or read book Natural Theology and Genesis Classic Reprint written by John Elbert Long and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Theology and Genesis A natural theology treats of the existence and character of God as these may be known from reason and nature. A natural theology in its relations to Genesis accredits the form of the argument and the sequence of the thought to inspiration. We feel warranted in this contradictory form of title from the fact, that on a close analysis of the record of creation the argument proceeds in the steps followed by those who have discussed the question in a natural theology, presenting their evidences from the ontological, the cosmological, the teleological, and the moral sources. If now we attempt to write an exposition on the record of creation we naturally fall into this line of argument. And it is found on close analysis of the record of creation, that God has already given us a work on natural theology. The last point is drawn out at great length in other parts of scripture, and we further note, that if we would formulate our theology faultlessly we must follow the Word of God. It is found also that when we have written our natural theology we have also written a satisfactory exposition on the record of creation. In this theses on natural theology we endeavor to follow the sequence of thought as given by inspiration because of its comprehensiveness, and also for the purpose of bringing into review the relation that exists between the creations and the record of them given by inspiration. Endeavoring if possible to remove some difficulties that have been in the way of a correct understanding of the theology as we think it.

Download or read book Natural Theology written by William Paley and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-04-13 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The consciousness of knowing little, need not beget a distrust of that which he does not know.' In Natural Theology William Paley set out to prove the existence of God from the evidence of the beauty and order of the natural world. Famously beginning by comparing the world to a watch, whose design is self-evident, he goes on to provide examples from biology, anatomy, and astronomy in order to demonstrate the intricacy and ingenuity of design that could only come from a wise and benevolent deity. Paley's legalistic approach and skilful use of metaphor and analogy were hugely successful, and equally controversial. Charles Darwin, whose investigations led to very different conclusions in the Origin of Species, was greatly influenced by the book's cumulative structure and accessible style. This edition reprints the original text of 1802, and sets the book in the context of the theological, philosophical, and scientific debates of the nineteenth century. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Natural Theology It follows from what we have said that in the Scholastic philosophy Natural Theology is no um essential adjunct, no mere afterthought, but a substantive and vital part of the system, without which it would be radically incomplete. It claims to establish from assured first principles the exist ence of'a Supreme Being, distinct from the finite and mutable things of experience. It maintains, further, that though the limitations of the human intellect render all our knowledge of Him inade quate, we are not wholly ignorant of His nature. There are certain attributes which can be affirmed of Him with certainty, though they are His in a manner more 'perfect than any which we can imagine. Above all, He is' intelligent and free, and therefore possessed of personality. In Him it finds the source and origin of all finite beings, and the final cause in view of which such beings exist.

Download or read book Natural Theology written by William Paley and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Paley (1743-1805) argues for the existence of God as the intelligent creator of the world in this, his last book, published in 1802. He builds on early modern natural theology including the works of John Ray, William Derham, and Bernard Nieuwentyt, and most of his examples are taken from medicine and natural history. Paley uses analogy and metaphors, including a particularly well-written version of the 'watchmaker analogy', to prove that the world is designed and sustained by God. This sixth edition also contains a detailed bibliography, appendices on Paley's courses, and background notes on key figures. It was an influential best-seller throughout the nineteenth century, read by theologians and scientists alike, and reprinted in cheap editions for the middle classes. It inspired many nineteenth-century works on natural theology, including the Bridgewater Treatises (which also appear in this series), and is a landmark of Western thought.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Theology: Or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity, Collected From the Appearances of Nature It was the original design of the publishers to have merely attached the plates and references Of Paxton, which have been published m England and m this country in a separate volume, to the text of Dr. Paley.
