ABSTRACT
The fault is in thinking of natural theology as the foundation of the rest of religion, in some way. Here they bring in the whole confusion of metaphysics; whether Aristotelian or some other. Introducing a sense of fundamental which is badly confused. Theologians mean, roughly, formal argument; criticism of inconsistences, criticism of non-sequiturs, trying to see what follows from statements made, and so on. This may be important in trying to get clear about religious ideas. It should think that any natural theology which rested on a quantitative comparison between the power of God and the power of physical agents or operationsor: a quantitative comparison between the physical effects of Gods power and the physical effects of anything else would be a pretty unholy sort of thing. And when we speak of trust in God, this is not like trusting in some human being in the sense of being convinced that he will not let you down.
