Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Deism is a theological theory proposing that a god created the Universe but has since refrained from any activity in it. It was espoused by many US founding fathers including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine. The ideology extols a reasoned evaluation of the scientific evidence as supporting a nonintervening Creator, and dismisses accounts of miracles and revelations. Essentially, you can view it as God created the Universe, set up all the laws of reality and everything, then totally lost interest. He's still "around" but he doesn't do much, if anything, to interfere with mortal lives (And if He did, we Mere Mortals probably wouldn't be in the loop; after all, God Works In Mysterious Ways...) |
