Suppose you are on a deserted island and you come across a watch in the sand. Even though you know the island is deserted, you would automatically conclude that the watch could not have been the result of natural forces. Because the watch is so intricate, with its many different parts working together, it could not have come into existence without someone planning and manufacturing it. Therefore, since there is a watch there must have been a watchmaker. Now consider the complex human brain. It is far more complex than a watch and its parts work together to accomplish an event. Therefore, if a watch must be created by a watchmaker a human brain must be created by a perfect su

The design argument was one of many ways to explain how things came about but over time has become obsolete. Science has been able to give us a better understanding and proof to support their statements rather then leave all of creation up to a perfect supreme being. For humans, it is nice to believe there is an omniscient, omnipotent, and benign god but there is no proof to such a person existing. Until proof is actually seen science will prevail in showing how the world was created.

My main objection to the design argument is that it states that human beings came into existence only because there was a perfect supreme being to create us. However, with Darwin’s theory of evolution and Hume’s dialogues concerning Natural Religion, there is actually evidence supporting their theory that apparent design can “arise purely by chance in a universe of particles in motion. Given an infinite time, a finite number of particles must hit on every possible order of combination (Hume).” Through evolution, life generates creatures that seem remarkably well fitt
