design?” (Socrates). The word ‘Telos’ is Greek for purpose. The Teleological argument thus argues that the universe is being directed towards a telos‚ an end purpose‚ and the posteriori evidence of an apparent intelligent design in the world. A posteriori argument is based on observations and/or experiences. Furthermore‚ the teleological argument is based on the character of the world and the universe. For example‚ our world is a place of such extraordinary interlocking complexity that the only rational

the Bible. Creation states that the universe was created by a Powerful God who does not have a beginning or end‚ and‚ “… that the worlds were framed by the word of God‚ so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” (Hebrews 11:3). In contrast‚ evolution is the theory of how the universe came to be and it excludes a Creator. This theory was formulated many centuries ago prominently by Charles Darwin. Evolution states that the universe was created 13.8 billion years ago and

that our biological and technological evolution‚ as well as our planet and solar system‚ are not unique‚ but are rather common throughout the universe. Additionally‚ the age of the universe is estimated to be 13.8 billion light-years old‚ and presently‚ it is estimated that the diameter of the observable universe may be 92 billion light-years.

and had the “outlook of geocentrism” in which we as planet are at the center of the universe full of epicycles(203-4). This eventually led to the Copernicus theory and Tycho Brahe which then led to Kepler’s own discoveries. Kepler idea of planets having elliptical pathways “set forth the first astronomical (portrayal of ) motion “ which was the starting point of changing how one sees a difference in their universe of location wise while also with how we look at it mathematically (205).

Humans use technology reach many parts of the universe around us‚ helping to scope out the unknown‚ but although progress has been made mankind only knows a fragment of the universe. As Dean Koontz once stated‚ “in an infinite universe‚ anything that could be imagined might somewhere exist” helping to open our minds to the fact that we are possible not the only life through out the universe (Koontz). Many theories and arguments have been made on how the universe came about. It might seem that these theories

that science and religion have opposing views on and continue to debate. One of these subjects that has received a great deal of attention and has placed an enormous wedge between the two realms is the varying opinions concerning the creation of the universe. For nearly a century‚ scientists have explained this phenomenon with the Big Bang theory‚ whereas spiritual thinkers have long placed their faith in the Genesis creation account. Both submit valid arguments‚ however‚ it is ultimately up to each

The Theory of the Big Bang started from observations and scientific facts. The Big Bang theory states that after the “Big Bang” the universe expanded from its original pea-sized origin to astronomical proportions‚ and the expansion of the universe still continues today but at a much slower rate. In the twentieth century many scientific developments were made by scientists that contributed to the creation of the Big Bang Theory. In 1910 Vesto Slipher was the first person to observe shifts in spectral

How did the developments in scientific thought from Copernicus to Newton create a new conception of the universe and of humanity’s place within it? The Scientific Revolution was a time of scientific questioning in which tremendous discoveries were made about the Earth. It has been referred to as “the real origin both of the modern world and the modern mentality” (Mckay‚ 596) and caused the foremost change in the world-view. This revolution occurred for many reasons. Universities were established
