Be able to identify the difference between cosmological and teleological. Aquinas fifth way depicts the governance of the world (teleological) Exposed an order in the world that was only reasonable to accept that a reasonable being designed it. Developed by william paley in his book natural theology or. Evidences of the existence and attributes of the deity. Watches are unnatural, a rock is natural why do we feel one is more questionable than the other. Is the world really portraying features of the watch. Hume"s dialogues concerning natural religion addresses his concerns about the argument in itself. Hume argues that this is not a good analogy and we are not able to accept any analogies of the world. He shows that the argument can be opposed logically by agnostics/atheists and the purely religious. We have no way of proving this as it proves a causal inference.
