- William Paley
- Design Qua Purpose- everything in world designed for a purpose- intricate parts working together- eye= sight
- Design Qua Regularity- states that the order of universe= designer. Evidence in astronomy- planets- couldn't have happened by chance= designer
- Analogy of watch- stone & watch- watch= complex/ intricate parts unlike stone been there forever- evidence to watch has purpose & designed with mechanism inside to meet its purpose= designer
- Both reprerent teleological argument for God's existence; focus on purpose and design of universe
- Both focus on complexity and intricacy od design with the assumption that there complexity is a product of intelligence
