it cannot be explained by saying it has always be there, someone must have put it there, this analogy is like the universe.

SWINBURNE- Arg from probability:

he said that theism is the best explanation for apparent order in the universe, this pionts to providential nature: the universe has everything it needs in it for humans and animals to survive.

TENNANT: Aesthetic arg:

the universe is 'saturated
