The seventeenth–century chemist and philosopher Robert Boyle argued that the world is like a clockwork machine.

520 |a The seventeenth–century chemist and philosopher Robert Boyle argued that the world is like a clockwork machine. This led to the problems of the place of a Creator and of how one can explain the directed, “final–cause” nature of organisms.

Nevertheless, Boyle's thinking does have some very interesting implications for the way in which we today should consider the science/religion relationship.
