1 janv. 1802 - William Paley published his "Natural Theology"

Description:

- Paley was a clergyman
- repeated the argument that natural objects show evidence of design, thus showing the existence of a designing God
- watchmaker analogy (if something has a design then it must have a designer)
- unfailing optimist, confident that he is summarising the majority of contemporary opinion
