ABSTRACT

The Argument from Design was a comparatively simple affair as long as the organism and the environment were assumed to have been separately created. Naturally, then, the author wish to know what is 'sufficient evidence' in the eyes of science, since everything, the author's are told, depends on that. It really seems rather difficult to get sufficient evidence for the axiom, viz. the Uniformity of Nature, on which the whole of science is built. And so the inquirer may go the round of the whole family of Sciences. It is an extraordinarily industrious family. In fine, the teaching of science is: demand sufficient evidence for everything, and always remember that by sufficient evidence is meant the Uniformity of Nature. And yet the author must have sufficient evidence for it, or else we shall have to conclude that Science has no more logical foundation than Religion.
