What reading level is Indications of the Creator Extracts Bearing Upon Theology From the History a book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The vast extinct creation which is recalled to life in Cuvier^s great work, the Ossemens Fossiles, cannot be the conse- quence of a mere identical proposition.
18. It has been objected, also, that the doctrine of Final Causes supposes us to be acquainted with the intentions of the Creator ; which, it is insinuated, IDEA OF FINAL CAUSES. 93 is a most presumptuous and irrational basis for our reasonings. But there can be nothing presumptuous or irrational in reasoning on that basis, which if we r...eject, we cannot reason at all. If men really can discern, and cannot help discerning, a design in cer- tain portions of the works of creation, this per- ception is the soundest and most satisfactory ground for the convictions to which it leads. The Ideas which we necessarily employ in the contemplation of the world around us, afford us the only natural means of forming any conception of the Creator and Governor of the Universe; and if we are by such means enabled to elevate our thoughts, however inadequately, towards Him, where is the presumption of doing so?
