Natural Theology: Or, Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity, Collected from the Appearances of NatureR. Faulder, 1802 - 586 pagina's "In this book the theologian William Paley postulates that God's existence can be divined from the complexity and beauty of the design of the universe, a discipline called "natural theology." Natural theology is a branch of theology that emerged in the late eighteenth century and is based on reason and ordinary experience, explaining God rationally, as part of the physical world." |
