Is There a Maker?

In the 18th century western thought became increasingly doubtful as to whether there was a maker. But they continued to look upon the creation as an artifact, as a machine. By the time of Newton people were explaining the world in terms of mechanism. And we are still under the influence of that idea because after all in things like life magazines and so on when they give you an article on human physiology they usually make drawings which show the human being as a kind of mechanism, as a sort of factory. Just in such a way the human is illustrated and so too in some kinds of rather degraded medicine that is now practiced.
