The Strongest Design Argument
The Strongest Design Argument! The watch makers was probably the most used and misused argument by the theists through the centuries. It was first proposed by philosopher William Paley and has been used even by the common non philosophically oriented theist down the ages. But in my opinion the evolutionary theory of origin and subsequent modifications that are possible through this mechanism may possibility explain away this famous argument, maybe not fully, but atleast make it much weaker than it used to be! So what I want to discuss today is a advancement of this argument called the Fine tuning argument which, even today many Academic Skeptics and Atheists consider as one of the strongest argument for the existence of God! Ofcourse they aren’t convinced by it, but accept that it is a logically sound and should be taken seriously. The format (syllogism) of the argument is legitimate. Its claims are modest and demonstrable and its Conclusion doesn’t force you to any specific position
