The Blind Watchmaker and the History of Natural Theology

Dr. Miller: I was raised Catholic, but then what happened was I went through a very serious faith crisis. Richard Dawkins who wrote the book The Blind Watchmaker is sort of a patron saint of atheism. He argued that the universe we look at suggests that there is no creator. It's just blind, pitiless indifference with his idea and I became pretty convinced that Catholicism, Christianity, belief in God in general was a psychological crutch.
