Teleological argument

An argument that attempts to prove God’s existence from the uniformity, or apparent design,of nature. Since the universe looks like it has been designed, and that which is designed has a designer, it follows that the universe was designed. Therefore, God exists. The argument involves an analogy between human-made or human-designed things, and the natural world.From the Greek, telos, which means goal, end, or purpose. (See also Argument from design.)
