Outline and assess the key design argument of the existence of God ? The design argument is concerned to find the meaning or purpose in this world; they seek to move from facts about the world to God. Like the cosmological argument‚ the design argument draws back to arguments put forward by Socrates and Plato who said that ‘the human body‚ with all its principles and elements must owe its origin…of Zeus’. The design argument considers a number of issues for example; why is the universe the way

Explain Darwin’s theory of Evolution and how it presents arguments against design and a designer. (30) A01 To answer this question productively‚ I must first‚ of course‚ explain both Darwin’s theory of evolution and the Design or teleological argument (D.A). Both offer a fairly comprehensive explanation of how the world came to be what it is today. We will first start with the theory of evolution.

An argument from design is an argument that is close to the Teleological approach‚ which are arguments for the existence of God because of a general pattern and order in the universe‚ as opposed to arguments from providence‚ which are arguments from the provision of needs; of conscious beings.

Most people observe the world and conclude that there is no doubt an order and design. One such believer was philosopher William Paley‚ an 18th century English clergymen who concluded that there was an intelligent design of the universe and thus must exist an intelligent designer. Now a commonly used term amongst theologists and philosophers‚ intelligent design refers to the belief that certain features of the universe can best be explained by a higher cause. While an orderly universe created for

The argument from design is an analogy and works by comparing the universe to an object. An example of the comparison would be to say the world resembles a car. All cars have creators‚ therefore‚ the world has to have a creator‚ and that must be God. The argument concludes by saying by observing the world we can gather evidence that the intelligence of a human that creates a car‚ bike or some other item resembles‚ in a less perfect form‚ God. However‚ Hume thinks this argument fails. Hume does not

Through the Argument from Design‚ Cleanthes attempts to contemplate the complex order of the universe to arrive at knowledge about the nature of God. He establishes his a posteriori argument by way of analogy: Evidence from the natural world shows that the world resembles nothing so much as a work of human artifice (machine)‚ which is perfectly and intricately ordered so that each part from smallest to largest is perfectly adapted to the harmony of other parts. All parts of a machine are related

Explain the Strengths and Weaknesses of the Design Argument for the existence of God. The design argument‚ also known as the argument of teleology‚ is the argument for the existence of God‚ or some kind of intelligent creator. Derived from the Greek word ‘telos’ meaning end or purpose‚ it is an a posteriori argument‚ because it is based on experience‚ not on reason or revelation‚ using the surroundings of the world as supporting evidence. The argument is an inductive one‚ as its reasoning can give
