Teleological Argument For The Existence Of God Analysis

The Teleological Argument for the Existence of God, also known as “Arguments from Design”, states that a designer must exist because the universe and living things exhibit marks of design in their order, consistency, unity, and pattern, and that designer is God. One of the analogies used for this argument is William Paley’s Watch Maker Argument. He gives the scenario: if you were to find a watch in an open field you would automatically assume that it was designed and did not just randomly form out of thin air. Based off this argument, if you agree that the universe and its inhabitants are designed in some way for a purpose, then there must be a designer responsible, which would be God. Believers in the Teleological Argument also argue that scientists and evolutionists are unable to explain how complex organisms such as the eye originated. In Michael Bubbly’s Book, “Darwin’s Black Box”, he goes on to disprove Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Darwin’s Theory is that organisms evolved by natural selection based off of small mutations and variations that increase the likelihood of survival. Throughout the book, he gives several scenarios that show that there is not enough time for organisms to have evolved through natural …show more content…
For example, Darwin studied Finches on the Gallapagos Islands to explain his theory. Within the birds, he could see small variations, but they were the same species. Then, an argument could be that maybe there is still more to discover as far as when organisms started inhabiting the Earth. Many people who argue against this idea don’t typically argue against the idea of there being a designer, but whether or not the order and complexity of the universe means that it was indeed designed. Basically, that maybe everything didn’t evolve over time, but maybe complex organism combusted randomly, without a
