Teleological Revelation

Teleological Revelation
A second argument for the existence of God in the area of General Revelation is the teleological argument. The teleological argument is any argument that seeks to show the existence of God based on the fine-tuning of the universe. When we look out at the universe that had a beginning brought about by a personal cause, we discover that Cause is not only personal but purposefully intelligent. There is such precision in the universe to such a degree that any minute change up or down would result in catastrophic disaster. For example the distance that the earth is from the sun, any closer and the earth would melt from the radiation of the sun. In other words it would be too hot. Any further from the sun and we would begin to freeze. This is also seen in the axel orbit that the earth maintains. Or the precise activity of the moon and the control of the tides. The odds of life that is found on planet earth is so huge that chance could not explain it.

One example that is used is the human eye. So complex yet every detail is necessary for proper functionality. If you take one piece away or change it slightly, the eye would not function properly. Now if we were to say compare this with a watch. A watch is so complex yet every detail is necessary for proper functionality. Take away a piece or slightly alter the gears, and you get a broken watch. Now no one argues that the watch just happened to come into existence by random chance, or that a 747 flew over a junk yard and the force of the pass-by caused by chance junk to come together in such a way to produce the mechanical workings of the time piece. If the watch was produced by an intelligent watch maker, then so to the eye, not to mention DNA, the brain, and other amazing realities that point to the existence of an intelligent designer, namely God.
