natural theology, n.All

Natural theology (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠an odd name: it cannot name a single property of God that leaves more than a mere word once everything anthropomorphic is stripped off.

Natural theology (n.) may ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠come down to one ambiguous proposition: that the cause of order in the universe probably bears some remote analogy to human intelligence — affecting no action, deserving only a plain assent.
