Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity

Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity by William Paley

William Paley took a look at nature and determined that there was so much organized complexity that their had to be a creator. This book then goes into extreme detail of everything that was observed. We hear about different functionality in animals, from the way they move to consume their senses. The structure of the arguments are similar to modern intelligent design arguments against evolution. However, this book was written before Darwin was even born. Were the evolution arguments written in response to these arguments?
