A Critique Of Design Arguments: A Historical Review And Free Examination Of The Methods Of Reasoning In Natural Theology (1883) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120114471)

""A Critique Of Design Arguments: A Historical Review And Free Examination Of The Methods Of Reasoning In Natural Theology"" is a book written by Lewis Ezra Hicks and published in 1883. The book is a critical analysis of the design argument, which is a philosophical argument for the existence of God based on the observation of order and complexity in the natural world. Hicks provides a historical review of the design argument, tracing its development from ancient Greece to the present day. He also examines the methods of reasoning used in natural theology, which is the study of God based on natural phenomena. Hicks challenges the validity of the design argument and argues that it is based on faulty reasoning. He presents alternative explanations for the order and complexity in the natural world, such as evolution and natural selection. The book is an important contribution to the debate about the existence of God and the role of reason in religious belief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
