Deism as opposed to theism.

… man at the center of the universe with his dictum “I think, therefore I am,” and during the 1600s, the trend became that the universe was a great clock that the creator had set in motion and then moved to a retirement home. Everything but man was an empty machine for our pleasure and purposes. Humor aside, by the late 1700s, the idea that God had stepped away from creation once he made it was taking hold in academic philosophy. If God did step away, who even needed God to explain anything?
