William Forsell Kirby was an English entomologist and folklorist. Kirby was an advocate of theistic evolution. In his book Evolution and Natural Theology he argued that evolution and theism are compatible. He noted that creationism was scientifically untenable and refuted its arguments. He viewed nature as a “vast self-adjusting machine”.
