Design and Darwinism (1880)

Design and Darwinism is a book written by James Carmichael in 1880. The book is a critical analysis of the then-popular theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin, as well as an exploration of the relationship between design and nature. Carmichael argues that the concept of design is essential in understanding the natural world and that Darwin's theory of natural selection fails to adequately explain the complexity and diversity of life. He presents a theological argument for the existence of a divine creator and criticizes the scientific community for rejecting the idea of design in favor of Darwinism. The book is a significant contribution to the debate between science and religion in the late 19th century and remains relevant to contemporary discussions on the topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
