Question

Which of these statements about Deism is most accurate?

Answer

Deism emerged during the Enlightenment. It is based on the belief in a "watchmaker God." That is to say, a God that created the universe with a set of absolute natural laws, and then left the universe to its own devices. It suggests that God does exist, but that he does not interfere in day-to-day life. Many Enlightenment thinkers were Deists including Thomas Jefferson.
