Explain the claim that "the order and purpose in the world a


He created his watch analogy to help people understand his theory, he said that if you saw a watch floating in a field you would not think that it came about by chance, you would think that its so complicated with all its cogs and wheels that there was no way it just happened it had to have a maker, he said that it is the same with the world he said it was too complex and worked so well it had to have been created. And he said that this creator was god.
             Another writer that would agree with the above statement is Isaac Newton. Newton was very religious however he was also a scientist. He saw god in nature and this was reflected in his scenic studies. Newton believed that the rational refection on the orderliness and obvious design of nature and of the world, result in the conclusion that there must be a being that is intelligent and omnipotent. He said that this being must be god.
             Richard swinbergue also agrees with the above statement, he believes that the universe is too complex for it "just to occur". He states that human beings with their ability to create a formula that describes an orderly universe, he says that this proves the existence of god. The formulas that he refers to are the golden section, a ratio for the amount of petals on a flower and the Fibonacci series, which can be found within nature for example how, the leaves grow on a tree. And is also found in virus like herpes and chicken pox. He looked at all the evidence of order and said if there is so much order and purpose there must be a god who created it.
             Fr F.copleston also agrees with the above statement, his theory is similar to the cosmological argument put forward by Aquinas. His theory states that there are some things that exits that are contingent, things that didn't have to exist for example, if a couple break up they may never have a child together and something won't exist that potentially could exist. He says that the only logical explanation is that there is a being that was outside the world but did not have a cause, but was always there, he descried the being as necessary and stated that it was god.
