Review of the Teleological Argument:

1. Every design had a designer.
2. As verified by the Anthropic Principle, we know beyond a reasonable doubt that the universe is designed.
3. Therefore, the universe had a Designer.

There is no plausible explanation for the Anthropic Principle other than a Cosmic Designer.

Atheists must take extreme measures to deny the obvious. When they dream up hypothetical theories that are not supported by any evidence—and in fact, actually impossible—they have left the realm of reason and rationality, and entered the realm of blind faith.

Physicist Paul Davies writes, “one may find it easier to believe in an infinite array of universes than in an infinite Deity, but such a belief must rest on faith rather than observation.”

Believing without observation is exactly what atheists accuse “religious” people of doing. But, ironically, it is the atheists who are pushing a religion of blind faith.

Christians have good reasons based on observation (such as the Big Bang and the Anthropic Principle) for believing what they believe.

Atheists don’t. This blind faith of the unbelievers reveals that the rejection of a Designer is not due to the lack of evidence or intellectual justification for a Designer. On the contrary, the evidence is impressive.

What we have here is a will problem—some people, despite the evidence, simply do not want to admit there is a Designer.

In fact, one critic of the Anthropic Principle admitted to the New York Times that his real objection was “totally emotional” because “it smells of religion and intelligent design”. So much for scientific objectivity!

Can life merely be a product of mindless natural laws?
