that dot the skies are moving‚ most of them rapidly away from us. In Chapter 3 of A Brief History of Time‚ Hawking describes the beginning of our universe‚ otherwise known as the big bang‚ and how our universe is expanding. In Chapter 4‚ Hawking explains the dismissal of the idea that future events can be predicted because of the belief that the universe was completely deterministic. As I read chapters 3 and 4‚ I was gripped by the idea of a big bang singularity‚ and immensely perplexed by the reasoning

certain phenomena within the universe appear to display features of design and are perfectly adapted to fulfil their function. Therefore‚ if features of the universe are so perfectly designed‚ for example the structure and function of the heart‚ then there must be a designer‚ which points towards the existence of God. The teleological argument is based around the idea that the universe in some way demands the existence of an intelligent being that designed the universe to allow life. For example Thomas

is most commonly known as the “Big Bang”. Most people believe the Big Bang Theory proves the existence of a universe without a creator but as most prominent scientists dig deeper‚ they are finding the universe is too complex to NOT have a creator‚ or Intelligent Designer. It has been said many times that before the twentieth century no astronomer could do anything but assume the universe had existed forever without a single change. They could only assume it was created in its perfectly present

Through the Argument from Design‚ Cleanthes attempts to contemplate the complex order of the universe to arrive at knowledge about the nature of God. He establishes his a posteriori argument by way of analogy: Evidence from the natural world shows that the world resembles nothing so much as a work of human artifice (machine)‚ which is perfectly and intricately ordered so that each part from smallest to largest is perfectly adapted to the harmony of other parts. All parts of a machine are related

My thesis will postulate that this argument does not necessarily prove God‚ and‚ in fact‚ is rather a large leap of logic – the assumption of God’s existence based on the idea of causation simply seems to be

that since the universe is not a human art‚ and is more like an animal‚ it does not need a designer. Paley argues that the complexity and functionality of a watch clearly shows that it was made by a designer. Animals are also complex and functional‚ therefore‚ Hume does not change the argument adequately enough to effectively counter it. Paley lays his argument as such: a watch is like the universe in complexity and functionality‚ a watch needs a designer‚ therefore‚ the universe needs a designer
