Natural Theology in the Nineteenth Century (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

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.
