What is the ‘ design argument ‘ for the existence of God

the design argument is the belief that the intricate workings of the universe are so unique that they could not have been made by chance and that there is a creator and that this creator is god.

Also Albert Eistein claimed that when he looks at all the glories of the cosmos he cant help but think that there is a divine hand behind it all. HOWEVER, some people oppose this argument due to the belief of evolution which was introduced by Darwin and they feel that if the bang theory did happen then what ever happened before that does not matter. However, science asks how the world was created where as religion asks why!
