RELIGION AND LIFE 

1 - BELIEVING IN GOD 

Design argument - 

For - 

• The way the universe works makes it look as if it has been designed 
• Anything that has been designed needs a designer - world would need a designer 
• Only possible designer would be God 
• Evidence the world has been designed (laws of science - gravity and magnetism, DNA as blueprint for life, evolution etc.) 

Against - 

• Designer would't have created volcanoes, earthquakes etc. 
• Science can explain appearance of design without a God involved 
• Doesn't explain dinosaurs being part of the world etc. 
• Would only prove designer, not necessarily God
