Designer God

This chapter was consumed of arguments trying to answer how the universe was created, is there a god, and is god the one who created the world we live in and everything it offers, and what if god wasn’t the creature of the universe, does god exist at all? The argument of design stated that everything had to have been created by an intelligent designer. It argued that earths wonderful features could not have just happed out of the blue, they had to have had an intelligent designer, they had to have been created by god. The Best-Explanation Argument stated that intelligent design was much more reliable than pure chance. The Same- Evidence Argument stated that the universe is made up of parts that work together to accomplish something, so we can conclude that the universe was created by an intelligent designer. The Natural selection theory was

As William Paley once wrote, “There cannot be design without a designer; contrivance without a contriver; arrange without anything capable of arranging.” In our world today, the ultimate designer, contriver and arranger would be considered God to many. Although the existence of God has consistently been debated throughout the course of time, the cause of debate has almost always returned to science. Considering the Design Argument and the Anthropic Principle, science can be seen to simultaneously support and go against the existence of God depending on one’s own perception of the topic.

God’s existence cannot be proved nor disproved, but this is an attempt to refute the existence of this all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good being through an analysis of arguments and theories that try to prove or insinuate His reality.

There is no objective evidence to demonstrate the existence of nature’s creator. If we were to think the design argument was reasonable, then one must also take under consideration the amount of ‘creators’ are required

The author also supports his beliefs with the Kalam Cosmological Argument. He states, “Whatever began to exist has a cause, the universe began to exist therefore, the universe has a cause.” (Copan & Meister) In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “shallow men believe in luck or in circumstance. Strong men believe in cause and effect.” In support of the cosmological argument, the author states, to suggest that things just pop into being uncaused out of nothing is to quit doing serious metaphysics and resort to magic.” In reading the material, the author highlights how God in all of his wisdom and power set the earth in perfect motion in such a way that the laws are perfectly balanced not only for human life but for coexistence of plants and animals and all living organisms. Furthermore, if not for the right combination of laws then life as we know it would be

Most religious zealots have no doubt about who created and the source of the origin of the universe. The same is true of the existence of the omnipotent, omniscience and omnipresent God. Although God may not be seen or heard or touched, however; by faith, we believe of his majestic existence. His existence as God cannot be measured in terms of Gallup surveys or scientific proofs to show otherwise but “religious thinkers” according to James and Stuart Rachels have offered numerous thesis for the for the existence of God, starting with the argument from design, with its subtitles such as the wonders of nature; the “best-explanation arguments and the same-evidenced argument” (Rachels). In either of the cases, the conclusions drawn were similar in the sense that the universe was created by an intelligent designer.

Atheists often insist there is no evidence for the existence of God while maintaining religious faith is fundamentally irrational. This paper will examine the Kalām Cosmological Argument (KCA), demonstrating that it offers strong evidence for the existence of God, thereby providing a rational foundation for the Christian faith.

This argument contends that an intelligent designer of the world does exist, and structured the universe so that most natural things fit together for a clear purpose. We can recognize that things in nature seem to be made for specific reasons that are too fortunate to be accidental. For instance, we observe that giraffes have extremely long necks and conveniently eat from the tops of trees. We can also identify that planet earth is just the right distance from the sun and moon to sustain human life. If either of these things were less ideal, there would be drastically worse outcomes for the giraffes and humans on earth. The harmony we witness in nature compels the belief in an intelligent designer.

Our universe had to have been designed for a purpose. Even Isaac Newton believed that the solar system appeared too awesome to have emerged merely from the action of blind forces. For many scientists it was too much to assume that the artful and harmonious organization of nature could be the result of chance. This point of view was articulated by Irish physicist, chemist, and philosopher Robert Boyle – “The excellent contrivance of that great system of the world, and especially the curious fabric of the bodies of the animals and the uses of their sensories and other parts, have been made the great motives that in all ages and nations induced philosophers to acknowledge a Deity as the author of these admirable structures” (Davies, p.

Russell’s Decisive Refutations of the Existence of God The existence of God is arguably the most discussed and inquisitive subject to been questioned. Many philosophers have dedicated their lives assembling empirical and logical evidence to prove or disprove the existence of God. Bertrand Russell, one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century, provides rationality and clarity to this complex issue through his text “Why I Am Not a Christian” (Russell & Rouben Mamoulian Collection (Library of Congress), 1957), where he presents his refutations for five major arguments for the existence of God. Heralded for its “devastating use of cold logic”, Russell ultimately undermines the dogma of the Catholic Church through his more practical ideas: The Natural-Law Argument and The Argument from Design.

Explanations of our creation can be explained by observing nature. If there is no basis in nature, then the explanation is not real. It is not an accident, nor is it divine; it is a natural process.

The Argument from design is analogous in nature and can be envisioned through key philosopher William Paley (1743-1809). With his argument of intelligent design acknowledged as the “classical” statement in coupled with his natural theology (1802). Additionally we will explore other forms of the argument from design in a more contemporary version. These consist of Hugh Ross’ Fine-tuning of the universe in reference to his published book The Creator and the Cosmos (1999), and the explanation of how the theory of evolution by natural selection attempts to account for the rise in complex organisms and natural structures without inferring to the concept of an intelligent designer. Lastly, exploring a critical discussion of

The reason for the theory of intelligent design is born from people’s lack of understanding of how evolution, natural selection, and adaptations have worked together over centuries to create life how it is seen today. Most of the skeptics of evolution find ground in their argument in religion, though this hardly

The theory of intelligent design theory holds that an intelligent cause and not an indirect process best explain the nature of living things and the universal features. The theory appreciates that, for the existence of the universe and the living things in it, there must have been in existence an intelligent force. The theorist are not out to show proof of the intelligent designer or who the intelligent designer ought to be. Intelligent designers make an observation and subsequent inferences on intelligent agent's actions and the resultants complexities. The inferences and observations are accessed against information obtained in the natural process concluding life is an intelligent design ADDIN EN.CITE Dawes200748067(Dawes 67)48048017Dawes, Gregory W.What Is Wrong with Intelligent Design?International Journal for Philosophy of ReligionInternational Journal for Philosophy of Religion69-816122007Springer( HYPERLINK l "_ENREF_2" o "Dawes, 2007 #480" Dawes 67).

It is hard to believe that somehow a planet fell into orbit at the perfect place, and time within a galaxy to cause an entire ecosystem to grow on it. Planet earth is just warm enough to sustain life, it holds air and water neatly within that atmosphere, and provides a home for intelligent life. Whether it is all coincidence, or the product of an almighty creator is the question. From that question, comes other questions. Religion is the answer. The answer to every question that the human race has ever conjured and could not explain has been written down and credited to a higher power. Things that people have no way to answer ourselves. There cannot be intelligence without curiosity.
