{ "item_title" : "A Critique Of Design Arguments", "item_author" : [" Lewis Ezra Hicks "], "item_description" : "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 popular argument for the existence of God that posits that the complexity of the natural world is evidence of a divine creator. Hicks provides a historical review of the design argument, tracing its origins back to the ancient Greeks and examining its development through the Middle Ages and into the modern era. He also critiques the methods of reasoning used in natural theology, which is the branch of theology that seeks to understand God's existence and nature through observation and analysis of the natural world. Throughout the book, Hicks argues that the design argument is flawed and that the methods of reasoning used in natural theology are insufficient for proving the existence of God. He offers alternative explanations for the complexity of the natural world, such as natural selection and evolution, and suggests that these explanations are more scientifically sound than the design argument. Overall, A Critique of Design Arguments is a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of one of the most popular arguments for the existence of God. It offers a historical perspective on the design argument and provides a critical analysis of the methods of reasoning used in natural theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
