THE TELEOLOGICAL ARGUMENT (9 of 9 notes)

Part Three
Theology Proper: 16 PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENTS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

We would agree with Hodge that this is a “boundless subject.” Many books have been written showing the teleology in both the organic and the inorganic creation. Hodge lists the title of the famous Bridgewater Treatises in which some of Great Britain’s outstanding scientists set forth the theistic position from their various scientific fields.⁴ A. Cressy Morrison, past president of the New York Academy of Sciences, wrote a book entitled: Man Does Not Stand Alone, which was popularized through a condensation in Readers Digest for December, 1946. The book was written as an answer to Julian Huxley’s book, Man Stands Alone, and sets forth many evidences of design in nature. Bernard Ramm deals with the subject in his book, The Christian View of Science and Scripture, pp. 144-156 and also gives a good bibliography on the subject.
