Natural a-theology

The debate has raged over the place of natural theology, but the SADists to a man have failed to give us anything about the impressive success of natural a-theology.

I hope to say more about it soon, but in his book Before Darwin, Keith Thomson plots the course of an emerging natural a-theology that set the face of intellectual enquiry determinedly away from a God who has spoken in our time-space and gives materialism the ascendency. This materialism finds its home in its own 'natural theology', with astounding success.

Natural theology is, of course, eschewed by the SADists, in fear of the success of materialism, I daresay; but in that fear, they remove God from this world and make the incarnation impotent.
