Natural Theology

Gelesen von Barry Ganong

(4,875 Sterne; 8 Bewertungen)

In this early nineteenth-century classic, William Paley assesses how our understanding of nature reflects characteristics of its creator. First published in 1802, the book went through more than twenty editions, remains in print, and is still a reference point in the ongoing conversation about evolution or creation as the better explanation for the appearance of order and design in our universe. - Summary by Barry Ganong (11 hr 17 min)
