Teleological argument ‘Telos’ form the Greek meaning ‘End’, ‘Aim’, ‘Purpose’. The Teleological (or design argument) claims that certain phenomena in the universe appear to display features of design, in so far as they are perfectly adapted to fulfil their function.

William Paley and the watch: William Paley (CE 1743 – 1805)), Put forward a very popular teleological argument in his book Natural Theology (1802). Key Term: Analogy = a comparison of similars.

Paley’s Analogy William Paley was Archdeacon of Carlisle: Paley: Imagine crossing a heath. If you come across a stone, you might consider it to be an accident but if you come across a watch then this provides clear evidence of contrivance or design even if the purpose of the watch is not obvious. Just as the design of the watch implies a designer, so the design in the world implies a great designer – which is God.

Biblical Quotes that support the design argument. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:1-2 “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.” Romans 1:20
