The Teleological Argument/ Design Argument

Theory brought in by William Paley- a theologist and philosopher. 

The theory

Everything in the universe is incredibly intricate and the majority serves exact purpose- this suggests they have been designed for this purpose. Should there be a designer, he must be incredibly intelligent and omnipotent. The only being that possesses these qualities enough is God. Therefore, God exists as a divine creator "He created us in his image"- Genesis

Arguments For

-It is logical and comprehensible- the watch analogy makes the argument understandable, and there is no other explanation for the intricacy of the universe.

-Compatible with scientific theories- God may have designed evolution/the big bang, hence why they have worked
