William Paley's Natural Theology, first published in 1802, brings depth to the history of intelligent design arguments. The contrivance of the eye, the ear, and numerous other anatomical features throughout the natural world are presented as arguments for God's presence and concern. While there are distinct differences between Paley's arguments and those used today by intelligent design theorists and creationists, it remains a fascinating glimpse of the nineteenth-century's debate over the roles of religion and science.

Natural Theology should belong in the collection of everyone interested in the history of the origins debate.
