things into existence this greater being is known as God. Deism is a scientific view that God created the universe along with the natural laws existing in it that make it work. According to Deism the universe now runs on its own without the interference of God. One of the main challenges in proving the existence of God is that scientists had evidence to solve a problem in nature that didn't have a need for God so they thought since there is no need for God then he must not exist. Many scientists are fascinated by deism because it proves that God and science can exist together in harmony. Yet another type of a posteriori argument for the existence of God is the teleological argument, otherwise known as the argument from design. This type of argument starts with the basis that the universe has order and shows that a higher being is responsible for this order in the universe. William Paley, a patron of the Christian evangelical cause in England, thought that the universe is an interconnected created for a purpose.

Of course not the watch at one time was not in existence, it has parts that were put together to form the watch, each one of those parts had to be formed and then they wereall fit together in harmony to form the watch by the watchmaker. On a greater scale the universe was not always in existence, it had to be formed by a greater being, God. Without God the universe would not be and the non-existence of the universe is obviously false. He goes on further by saying that we had never seen the watch being made, nor the person who made the watch, and we may not be able to make the watch ourselves, yet the watch exists. You can say the same about the universe. We may have never seen the universe being created, or the being that created it, and we may not be able to create a universe ourselves bu...
