The Strength of the Teological Argument due to Science Essay

The Strength of the Teological Argument due to Science Science does give us more and more information about the universe, but it doesn’t believe in God or god as the designer of the universe as there is no scientific evidence for the existent of God. But learning more about the universe does show us that there is an order in the universe, which strengthens the teological argument. The Design argument is a theory based on the idea that everything in the Universe is ordered. It is also known as the Teological argument, derived from the Greek word telos meaning end or purpose.

Many philosophers have contributed to the design argument with their own understanding of it and their own ways of explaining it. These philosophers all agree that there is an order, purpose and regularity in the whole universe, this is what we also learn from science. For example the heart in our body shows it has order, certainly a purpose and it works regularly. The oxygenated blood is send to the body from the heart by the arteries and the deoxygenated blood is send to the heart from the body by the veins and its purpose is to keep us alive by sending oxygen to every cell in our body for respiration and it works regularly as the heart contradictions occur at about 72 beats per minute. Paley offered us an analogy to try to explain the argument. He put it to us that if we were to find a stone on the ground, and were asked why it was there, we would think it had laid there forever. However, if we were to find a watch on the ground, and were asked the same question, we would reply that it was there because somebody had designed it. Paley says that the stone on the ground is no different to the
