5 I: Teacher led Design: When things show evidence of being planned for a purpose. Q. How does a camera show design? Q. What was the inspiration for the first camera?

6 We Mastery Tasks If you came upon a stone in an uninhabited place, you could reasonably say that it had been there since the beginning of time. If you came upon a watch in an uninhabited place, you could not say that it had come to be there by chance. The complexity of its mechanism would make you say it had a designer. The universe is far more complex than a watch, so if a watch needs a watchmaker, the universe needs a universe maker. As the only being that could design the universe would be God, it follows that God must exist. In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. Genesis 1:1 Name 2 scholars that argued the UNIVERSE was designed? (2) Explain how Paley s argument supports the creation story?

7 We Mastery Tasks Argument for the Existence of God Teleological Argument = Design (they are one and the same!) The philosopher, William Paley, used the idea of design to try and prove the existence of God. He looked at a watch and said if something like this requires a designer, how much more would the universe need a designer 1. To design something takes intelligence and thought. 2. The universe shows evidence of design. 3. Therefore, a being with intelligence and thought must have designed it. 4. Only God could have intelligence and thought enough to design the universe. 5. Therefore, as the universe exists, God must exist. In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God s existence. Isaac Newton How does this quote support the Design argument?

8 You Independent Practice Exam Question: Explain why the Design argument of William Paley proves the existence of God.(5) Christians are theists. They believe God created the world. In the Bible it says. The argument from design says. Paley used the example of the watch This affects Christian belief It leads them to.

9 You Independent Practice Do you think the problems make his argument weaker? Strengths Weaknesses In the absence of any proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God s existence. Isaac Newton. What does this mean?

10 You Independent Practice Exam Question: The Design argument proves that God exists. Evaluate this statement In your answer you: Should give reasoned arguments in support of this statement Should give reasoned arguments in support of a different point of view Should refer to religious arguments May refer to non-religious arguments Should reach a justified conclusion (12 marks) What is the question asking? ARGUMENT to support example and religious view Now the other view example and religious view (Do this at least twice) TIE IT IN - CONCLUSION
