Greavu 1 John Greavu Mark Herr PHIL 1002 15 October 2012 Evaluation of the Teleological Argument The teleological argument argues that the universe must have had a designer‚ therefore implying the existence of a Supreme Being. This argument strongly relies on observations of the apparent design and orderly complexity within the universe that has existed long before humans inhabited and affected it. Everything is here for a reason‚ and everything has a purpose. From these main points‚ the teleological

1 INTRODUCTION 1 Goals The tutorial is intended to provide information on agents and agent technology to educate more of the software development and CHI community on the impact and nature of current Agent technology. By providing a reasonable backdrop for agents‚ this tutorial hopes to allow the student to pursue additional reading material with a more objective eye for that which is real and that which is hyperbole (hysteria?). 2 Objectives The tutorial student should leave with

in which no one is held accountable for. However‚ the actions in which humans and animals undergo‚ would never go unpunished if there was a human agency involved. On the topic of the argument from design‚ Mill strongly believes that there is no intelligent agency in the universe‚ and if the argument was to succeed one would be forced to conclude that " Either there is no God or there exists and incompetent or immoral God"‚ as this would not fit in with the God of Classical Theism.

current approaches for intrusion detection on networks were x-rayed though‚ with emphasis on Denial of Service (DoS) attacks only. The concept of intelligent agents and subsequently adaptive systems was elucidated‚ the properties derived were used as a proof of concept‚ and then applied in the development of a model for an adaptive intelligent multi-agent for network protection‚ against denial of service attacks. KEYWORDS: Agent‚ Denial of Service attack‚ Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

theory has barley scratched the surface. In 1996 Micheal Behe published a book called Darwin’s black box Behe argues that Darwin’s theories of natural selection can not explain the complex bacterial flagellum motor and many other proteins that show intelligent design. Darwin’s Theory of "functional advantage" requires a complete and immediate working component. Behe introduced a theory called "irreducible complexity” meaning multi-component machine need all of its parts to function properly. for natural

goal. In fact the word ‘Telos’ is derived from the Greeks and means ‘purpose’. This is the heart of the Teleological Argument and there are various examples to demonstrate that there is a designer (God). The Bucket Orchid and the Bee point to an intelligent designer – this orchid has a very interesting pollination method which involves attracting a bee by making nectar specific to that bee. The bee would fall into the sticky pool of nectar and to escape must pass through another passage which when

Aquinas was 13th century philosopher. His argument is included in his book the Summa Theologica and is the fifth of his 5 Ways. He identified that the way natural bodies act in a regular fashion to accomplish their end provides the evidence of an intelligent being.That is said to be God‚ he directs things to their natural goals‚ like an archer firing an arrow. There are two main arguments for design. The first one Design Qua Regularity that says that the design of the universe is highlighted in relation

McCloskey boldly states that this argument is not satisfactory just like the cosmological argument. This argument is similar to cosmological‚ however‚ it looks more closely at the character of the universe‚ and the design must have an intelligent designer. McCloskey believes‚ “that to get the proof going‚ genuine indisputable examples of design or purpose are needed” (McCloskey‚ 64). McCloskey don’t think that these indisputable examples of design or purpose doesn’t exist‚ so this argument
