What reading level is The Theistic Argument As Affected By Recent Theories a Course of Lectures Deli book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus, Mr. Huxley says : " In Paley's famous illustration, the adaptation of al 1 EVOLUTION AND FINAL CAUSE. 183 the parts of the watch to the function or purpose of showing the time, is held to be evidence that the watch was specially contrived to that end, on the ground that the only cause we know of competent to produce such an effect as a watch which shall keep time, is a con- triving intelligence, adapting the means directly to that end. Suppose, however, that any one had been able to show ...that the watch had not been made directly by any person, but that it was the result of the modification of another watch which kept time but poorly, and that this, again, had proceeded from a structure which could hardly be called a watch at all, seeing that it had no figures on the dial, and the works were rudimentary, and that going back and back in time we come, at last, to a revolving barrel as the earliest traceable rudiment of the whole fabric ; and imagine that it had been possible to show that all these changes had resulted first, from a tendency in the structure to vary indefinitely, and secondly, from something in the surrounding world which helped all va- riations in the direction of an accurate time-keeper, and checked all those in other directions, then it is obvi- ous that the' force of Paley's argument would be gone.
