More than two hundred years ago, Dr. William Paley wrote a series
of books that marshaled evidence for the Christian faith. His books
were often required reading at major institutions of learning.
Believers and unbelievers alike wrestled with Paley's arguments and
his compelling presentation of them. Paley's Natural Theology was
one of those books. In it, he showed from biology and human anatomy
that the argument for design was a clear and self-evident inference
from the facts, and from that point of departure proposed that only
a designer God could adequately account for those facts. His famous
analogy from an intricate watch to the required deduction that
there exists a watchmaker persists to this day. When evolutionary
theory rose to dominance, it was thought that Paley's views on
'intelligent design' had been fully put to rest. However, each new
generation discovers anew that evolutionary theory requires them to
accept as true what appears, on its face, to be patently absurd:
that immense complexity, surpassing in its apparent genius what
1,000 human geniuses cannot create was nonetheless the product of
unguided, intrinsically dumb, natural forces. Unsatisfied, they
consider the alternatives. The argument is sure to rage for another
two hundred years and Dr. Paley's Natural Theology will prove to be
relevant then as it is relevant today, advances in our
understanding of biology notwithstanding, and, actually, because of
those very same advances. "I do not think I hardly ever admired a
book more than Paley's Natural Theology: I could almost formerly
have said it by heart." Charles Darwin, 1859.
