Whose analogy is this?

The arrow reaches the target because it is guided by the archer. Unintelligent natural bodies follow natural laws to fulfil their purpose -they are guided by an intelligent being. (e.g. bees pollinating)

Whose argument is this?

P1 - Universe has purpose, order and reason

P2 - The complexity of the universe shows evidence of design

P3 - Such design implies designer

Conclusion - The designer is God

=Design Qua Regularity (Proof of design)

The method of arguing that starts with observation (evidence) and moves to a probable conclusion

Proof of statement relies of external evidence =

Whose argument is this?

Written in Natural Theology in 1802, when he was fascinated by discoveries above natural world. It is both design via purpose and regularity.

- Parts of the universe fit together for a purpose or function

- Order and regularity of the universe is proof of a designer, the universe has design

Whose argument is this?

There is so much cumulative evidence of design around us in nature and animals etc there must be a divine designer.

Whose anthropic argument is this?

The universe perfectly fits the development of life.The universe is designed in a way that allows life to grow and develop. Most importantly, it is designed to develop intelligent human life.

Whose aesthetic argument is this?

Our appreciation of beauty in universe supported the design argument.

We are saturated in beauty from the microscopic to the macroscopic.

Beauty has no survival value, unnecessary but still exists so is indicative of God who designed us with this appreciation.

Whose view argument is this? (compatibilist)

God chose to create a universe that is governed by law. The world has to be designed to have order and law

Whose view argument is this? (compatibilist)

The universe has order and is a matter of interpretation (Fine Tuning). Science deals with facts and religion deals with interpretation of them.

Whose critcism is this?

You cannot infer a similar cause from a similar effect. Just because 2 things appear ordered, complex and purposeful does not mean they both have a designer

Whose criticism is this?

The world is not sufficiently like a machine to make the watch analogy work.

Whose criticism is this?

The world has too many problems to have been designed by the Christian God. It is a more likely conclusion that a junior god designed the world as a prototype

Whose Epicurean criticism is this?

Given an infinite amount of time, random matter can take on the appearance of order

Whose apparent design criticism is this?

The world appears ordered because that is how humans perceive it

Whose problem of observation criticism is this?

We cannot observe God designing the universe

Whose challenge is this?

Order, purpose and complexity arise out of the process of natural selection, which is the result of random changes between generations, not any intention or plan on the part of nature

Whose challenge is this?

Nature must be a 'blind watchmaker'

Whose challenge is this?

There is a huge amount of suffering in nature, and good people seems to be punished for trying to help (e.g. doctors getting infected). Maybe God is not powerful enough to rid the world of suffering.

Whose said this?

Without order, benefit or purpose and suitability, nothing can exist/

Whose used this analogy for design?

" An arrow directed by an archer'

Whose said this?

" Things that lack intelligence cannot move towards their end unless they are directed by someone with knowledge and intelligence."

Whose said this about the world?

it is.."framed and put together for a purpose'

Whose said this about the world?

"Every manifestation of design which existed in the watch exists in the world of nature."

Whose said this ?

"The analogy of complex machines to animals seems to me correct and its conclusion justified."

Whose said this about the conditions for life and the universe?

"Everything was just right"

Whose coined the term?

'survival of the fittest'

Whose said this?

"Beauty seems to be superfluous and have littles survival value."

Whose said this about the chances of our existence?

"We are so grotesquely lucky to be here."

Whose said this about the design argument and our world?

" A true watchmaker has foresight"

What does this describe?

a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification

Whose said this?

"Evolution is a marvellous expression of the way God is working in the world."

Which argument is this?

The universe is extremely precise and has a perfect condition.

It can't be necessity because no evidence. It can't be chance because the probability is to low (unless multiverse) but no proof and would still need fine tuning. Only thing left is design.

Who suggested the universe:

•could have been the work of a team of designers

•could have been an evil force

•and questioned who or what designed the designer?

Whose poem included the phrase:

"Nature, red in tooth and claw"

which could be used to argue against intelligent / deliberate design?

Whose said this suggesting intelligence behind design?

"How could the blind forces of primal sea manage to put together the correct elements to build enzymes?"

Who said this in defence of irreducible complexity?:

“The conclusion of intelligent design flows naturally from the data itself
