The Three Barriers: Notes On Mr. Darwin's Origin Of Species. by Gilbert Rorison examines the scientific and theological critique of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution as presented in Origin of Species. The work argues that the history of life reveals a constant typological order upheld by Divine design rather than material evolution. Rorison contends that Darwin's descent with modification cannot fully explain deep-seated differences in organismal structure and function, which he treats as insurmountable barriers to the transformation of lower forms into higher ones. He emphasizes the constancy of species, the limits of natural selection, and the necessity of teleology, defending final causes through design arguments illustrated by the eye, maternal care, and other intricate adaptations. The volume includes a Preface, extensive Appendix discussions on the validity and impressiveness of design, and notes that contrast artificial selection with natural selection. Written in 1861, it presents a vigorous religious defense of design that engages with contemporary evolutionary debates.
