| What Key Thinker and Document Critiqued the Teleological Argument? | > David Hume (1711 - 1776) > Scottish enlightenment philosopher > Empiricist - knowledge only comes from sensory experience > Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1779) |
| What were Hume's Objections for the Teleological Argument? | > Written before Paley, but argues against similar analogy > An analogy must be similar to be suitably compared (e.g., a house being designed and built is not comparable to the entirety of the Universe) > Universe demonstrates greater similarities to living organisms than artificial (manmade) objects > Comparing God to a human designer anthropomorphises him - limits him to a less than perfect being > Did God design the evil within the world? > Did multiple Gods design the world? > Close to suggesting similar ideas to Natural Selection - apparent design is simply due to the need of survival > We may just perceive design (authentic design vs apparent desigh) > Epicurean Hypothesis - Universe began chaotic but calmed down via natural forces |
| What Modern Scientific Developments can go Against the Teleological Argument? | > Big Bang theory - evidence to support the theory include red shift (i.e., the Universe is expanding), and Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (i.e., there exists radiation that changes wavelength, suggesting an initial explosion to expansion) - BUT, what caused the Big Bang, and did God design the Big Bang to happen? > Theory of Evolution - Darwin, 19th Century, requires no reference to creation by a designer God. New species evolved from existing ones due to natural selection - apparent design due to natural selection - BUT did God design evolution |
