If you walked upon a heath and found a watch, you would not question how it got there, but if you found a rock, you would question how it got there as it is designed and has a purpose.

The grand designer- in the universe unintelligent life seems to move toward some sort of end goal (an acorn will never grow into an oak) and this couldn’t happen without an intelligent designer to move things from their state of potentiality to actuality.

You can know nothing about cause from effect, just because things in the universe were designed, does not mean the universe was designed.

Analogies are stronger the more alike two things are, the world and watch are not alike and it would be better to compare the universe to something else natural like a carrot.

We have experience of universes being made, but not of watches, so can say nothing meaningful about it.

Like causes create like effects, would it not be more logical to posit a male and female creator god?

Using Ockham’s knife he argues from probability, when combined with the other arguments for god’s existence, the design argument significantly raises its likelihood.

Using Ockham’s fork he argues from probability, when combined with the other arguments for god’s existence, the design argument significantly raises its likelihood.

For evolution to occur, it must follow particular laws. To survive, organisms must exhibit spatial order. Nature acts as a human making machine, we in turn make machines that make more machines. In the same way that there is a creator of machines, there is a creator of nature- god.

There is temporal order in the world, the laws of nature are so absolute that we can use them to predict the future. 2. The best explanation for this is an intelligent designer, human consciousness, intelligence and questioning are best explained by a god who created us with free will though a long process of evolution.

1. Swinburne accepts evolution as the cause of complexity in the world, but argues that it follows particular laws to take place. 2. To survive, organisms have to not exhibit spatial order. 3. Nature acts as a human making machine, we in turn produce machines that produce more machines. 4. In the same way that there is a creator of machines, there is a creator of nature- god.

Wicked witch principle- the conditions for the creation of the universe were perfect, yet the chance of this happening randomly is so low. The balance of forces within the universe is best explained by an intelligent designer.

Weak- the universe was definitely designed. Strong- the universe was more then likely designed.

Weak- because we are here, the universe must have the properties necessary for life. Strong- it was necessary for the universe to have the properties it did, it was intelligently constructed.

Weak- the universe was more then likely designed. Strong- the universe was definitely designed.

Weak- the universe could not have come about any other way, it was designed. Strong- because we are here, the universe must have the properties necessary for life.

Does not lead to the conclusion that the world was intelligently designed.

Order is in the eye of the beholder, the way planets drift, collide and die could be seen as pointless.

Assumes Humans were so special the whole of creation was leading to us, any successful species would assume this.

Was it necessary to have billions of years of experiments just to produce humans?

Whilst traveling on the HMS beagle to the Galápagos Islands, Mackie observed that finches on different islands had different shaped beaks to correlate with the food available to them, leading him to conclude that organisms are adapting all the time to their changing environments.

It allows variety in nature to be explained without the need for an intelligent designer. Organisms were not designed to suit there environment, rather, they have evolved in response to a particular environment. Animals were not created ready made, but evolved through a long process of gentrification.

Nature is not ordered and perfect, it is flawed and cruel, suggesting a flawed designer or no designer at all. Think of the female digger wasp who stuns a caterpillar then lays her eggs in it so the larva can eat their way out whilst it’s still alive.

Nature is ordered and perfect, it is not flawed and cruel, suggesting a good designer. Think of the female digger wasp who stuns a caterpillar then lays her eggs in it so the larva can eat their way out whilst it’s still alive.

There is no evidence for order in the universe.

The universe is too random to have been designed.
