    Crossing the Heath with William Paley (1743-1805)

    Doug Geivett — 

    On May 25, 1805 the Christian church lost one of its ablest and most-remembered defenders. William PaleyAnglican minister, professor, and authoris permanently associated with the analogy of a watchmaker and the God of personal theism. He wrote that the contrivances of nature . . . are not less evidently mechanical, not less evidently contrivances, not less accommodated to their end or suited to their office, than are the most perfect productions of human ingenuity (Natural Theology, 1802). Paley mined the riches of biology for samples of such contrivance. In his day, the state of scientific knowledge in the field of biology permitted comparatively easy inference to the appearance of teleology in the natural world. Critics today forget this. The demise of Paleys design argument for the existence of God is credited especially to a development that was to happen some 60 years laterthe emergence of the new theory of evolution, beginning with the publication of Charles Darwins On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1859) ...

    The Emotions of Jesus, Part 3: Compassion

    Thaddeus Williams — 

    If we peer underneath Jesus table-flipping rage at the Temple (explored in Part 2), we find a still deeper emotion to reflect. Matthews account tells us that immediately after protesting the poor-oppressing, God-mocking Temple system, the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them" (Matthew 21:14). What a beautiful moment. In it we see that Jesus was outraged not in spite of His care for people but precisely because of it. The very people marginalized and trampled under the religious power structure are brought into the spotlight and elevated by Jesus. (He has a way of doing that.) He didnt take anything from them or treat them like chumps in a captive market. He gave them vision and sound bodies. He treated them like the intrinsically valuable human beings they each wereand all for free.
