Natural Selection Not Inconsistent With Natural Theology is a book written by Asa Gray in 1861. The book is a critical analysis of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species and argues that natural selection, as proposed by Darwin, is not inconsistent with the principles of natural theology. Gray, a prominent American botanist and Harvard professor, was a contemporary of Darwin and a supporter of his theory of evolution. However, Gray believed that natural selection alone was not sufficient to explain the complexity and diversity of life on Earth. Instead, he argued that the process of evolution was guided by a divine intelligence, which he referred to as natural theology. In the book, Gray provides a detailed examination of Darwin's theory, pointing out areas where he believes it falls short and offering his own interpretations of the evidence. The book is considered an important contribution to the debate over evolution and natural theology in the 19th century.And Of Its American Reviewers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
