During 1870-74 the family lived in Rome where Thomas Hamilton was Chaplain of Holy Trinity Church. There survives from this period the earliest document in Flora's hand. It is an account of a miracle she witnessed in one of the Catholic churches of Rome when she was 12 years old, and which WHL thought evidence of an eminent degree of her 'matter of factness.' Describing the body of a young female saint in a glass case beneath the altar, Flora said, 'the beautiful waxen figure with its flowers and candles had a great fastenation [sic] for me, so I went back by myself to look at it again...I was gazing fixedly at her when she slowly lifted her eyelids and looked at me; I was terribly frightened and felt myself getting cold - I had hardly time to look at or admire her large blue eyes when she again closed them.'

C.S. Lewis on Evolution and Intelligent Design
Notes for “Introduction”
1. C. S. Lewis, “On Learning in Wartime” in The Weight of Glory: And Other Addresses, ed. Walter Hooper (1949; revised, New York: HarperOne, 1980), 47–63.
2. See Peterson et al., Reason and Religious Belief: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion, 4th ed. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2009), 8 and 90–122. It should be noted that the Reformed objection to natural theology (advanced by Alvin Plantinga and others) argues both that some assumptions underlying the argument strategy of natural theology are too strong and that there are conditions under which a person is rationally warranted in believing in God without providing an argument for God’s existence. But this simply means that we must refine our understanding of the project of natural theology and its arguments, not that there is no viable conception of natural theology. For further discussion of this approach, see Reason and Religious Belief, 123–4. To consult key primary sources on natural theology as well as the Reformed objection, consult the companion volume: Peterson et al., eds., Philosophy of Religion: Selected Readings, 4th ed. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2010), Parts 5 and 6.
