describe a harmonious universe made up of an infinite

room open for much question. No Bibliography. Leibniz.wps

A Critique of Paley's "Watchmaker" Argument : 3 pages in
length. A short, yet insightful critique of Paley's "watchmaker"
argument for the existence of God. The writer briefly presents
Paley's logic, discusses the merit of his reasoning, and then
proceeds to debate the incompleteness of the philosopher's
proposition. While we can say that a person created a clock or
a watch, we can not necessarily say with the use of such an
analogy that anything even remotely similar to a person
designed the universe. After all, a person could not have created
the material that a rock is made from...A person could not have
create the basic natural elements. A watch exists because a
person made it but a watch is not the most basic
element--(Further reasoning provided in essay). No
