Just because something appears to be designed doesn’t mean that it is.
ANALYSIS
If God designed the universe, who designed God?
ANALYSIS
If God does not need a cause why does the universe
CRITICISM
David Hume argues that this is not a very strong analogy to compare mechanical objects to the whole world (Paley). The world is more like an animal or a vegetable.
ANALYSIS
Even if we accept God designed the world, it doesn’t prove that God is anything like the religion teaches.
The design argument is a philosophical idea that the order and complexity we see in nature suggest an ultimate and divine creator, often identified as God.
Fine-tuning: The universe's fundamentalconstants seem precisely adjusted to allow for life. Even tiny changes to these constants would likely prevent the existence of the universe.
Complexity of DNA: DNA code is highly complex and this information-rich structure is unlikely to have arisen from random chance, suggesting an intelligent designer.
ANALYSIS
When you look at all the suffering in the world, this argument suggests a very limited designer.
