The teleological argument - also called the argument from design - is the proof for the existence of the deity. Since there are many versions of the teleological argument, I should introduce at the very beginning of the passage that I would be mainly focus on Paley’s version of argument. In his book "Natural Theology," Paley simply states that when we see something is intended for a purpose, it’s reasonable for us to assume that this thing has been made for a reason, i.e. been designed by a designer. Thus, the same law must apply in the universe we are living in. A supreme being must design the order, pattern and the consistency of the universe, and we call this designer “God.” Let’s first look at how Paley addresses those issues. His arguments are as follows: 1. The universe resembles the human craftworks (E.g. the watches Paley mentions in his passage) in the purposefulness and the order 2. The human craftworks exhibit the purposefulness and the order because they are intelligently designed 3. Therefore, the universe is a product of intelligent design as well. 4. But the universe is more complicated and more gigantic than the human craftworks 5. Thus we can assume that the designer who designs the universe must be more powerful and more intelligent. Unlike the cosmological argument, which provides the statement start with the existence of the contingent beings then concerns the existence of a maker with the power to account for existence of those contingent things, teleological arguments initiates with specific objects with certain qualities those with purpose and order then provide us with the clear direction of where we should trace for the behaviors and the paths of the natural behaviors-------the intelligent and powerful designer. The universe has revealed an intricacy and precision that calls for the existence of a creator, who has to be firstly powerful, secondly all knowing, rather than a universe created by ran
