First Sentence
SUPPOSE, in the next place, that the person, who found the watch, should, after some time, discover, that, in addition to all the properties which he had hitherto observed in it, it possessed the unexpected property of producing, in the course of its movement, another watch like itself; (the thing is conceivable;) that it contained within it a mechanism, a system of parts, a mould for instance, or a complex adjustment of laths, files, and other tools, evidently and separately calculated for this purpose; let us enquire, what effect ought such a discovery to have upon his former conclusion? Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars teleology at its best, 26 May 2009
By J. G. Watters "puddles" (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Natural Theology (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
No doubt some of the interest in Paley comes from the popularity of Dawkins and the growing movement for introducing "Creationism" or "Design" into science class. Paley's attempt to refute scientific argument based on its incompleteness is unfortunate but, nonetheless, this is a beautifully written book which shows some of the tensions and desperation in Paley's own argument.
To put it simply. If you are a creationist or an athiest or a was-there-something-before-the-big-bang or notist, this is the book that started the argument even before Darwin got there.
Like my parents say: it is easier to talk about lunch money in bus queues, but train journeys are good for real discussions. You can always look out the window.
Once again OUP have read a minor market perfectly by producing a finely edited copy of an important work.
