These natural philosophers saw God as the first cause, and sought secondary causes to explain design in nature: the leading figure Sir John Herschel wrote in 1836 that by analogy with other intermediate causes " the origination of fresh species, could it ever come under our cognizance, would be found to be a natural in contradistinction to a miraculous process ".
