A review by ruby_gordon
Natural Theology by David M. Knight, Matthew D. Eddy, William Paley

informative reflective medium-paced

2.0

My main issue with this book is the beginning third which focuses on describing human and animal anatomy in DEPTH. It shows his great knowledge of the different body parts and their functions, but it says nothing about what Paley makes of all of this information. It’s like he throws all of this information at us without explaining WHY this proves the existence of a deity. We clearly see evidence of regularity and complexity in design, but I wanted more of a personal commentary from Paley instead of a highly scientific boring description without any dissecting or deeper analysis of the information. I appreciate his theory and watchmakers analogy much more than this book, I hoped to get a deeper insight into these by reading this but unfortunately not. :(
