Dr Jonathan Topham, senior lecturer in History of Science at Leeds, discusses Natural Theology, the Bridgewater Treatises and the reception of Darwinism; these formed the subject of his Faraday Institute Seminar in February, 2010 entitled 'Biology in the service of Natural Theology'.
I was unaware of the Bridgewater Treatises. Your comparison between them and Paley is fascinating. Thanks for the presentation. As an evangelical Christian who also affirms evolutionary biology and cosmology, I've benefited greatly from the Faraday Institute as well as the Biologos Foundation in the US. Thank you all for your good and worthwhile work.
