Notes for wed. 3/12:
-Argument against Teleological arg.-
1.) Darwinian evolution- naturalistic mechanical forces (causes, pushes, etc)can explain the order, complexity, and "purpose" of universe
2.)The universe is like a vegetable- vegetables are always the product of germination, Therefore the universe is also a product of germination. This shows the invalidity of the watch argument. You may also be able to say that the universe is a product of sexual reproduction, just like most animals.
3.)Hume- the designer, if he exists, is either incompetent or malevolent (idea that God made the world for humans to live in, so why is it so hard to live in?).
