摘要
The article shows how Robert Boyle's natural theology matched with his strong Christian theism. The author demonstrates how one of the founders of experimental science gave a theological interpretation to his research set, trying to banish suspicion against science from the side of religion and at the same time to provide a religious answer to atheism using natural theology. The author believes that Boyle designed a vision of the world, which, contrary to modern stereotypes, has place for both empirical and religious faith, for both mechanical universe and faith in Providence.
