Abstract

exists because the teleological argument strongly resembles the analogical argument used to justify our belief that others have minds. His argument fails because of a disanalogy between the two arguments. One who uses the analogical argument cannot deny that a person who acts as they do has a mind. But a person who uses the teleological argument can deny that God exists while admitting that the universe is designed if they believe the existence of is incompatible with the existence of God. Analogical arguers consider only factors relevant to the analogical argument while theists must assert many propositions, such as evil is justified and exactly one Being designed the universe, which are not relevant to the teleological argument. Since atheists need only deny one of the many propositions theists must assert, it Is reasonable to believe that God does not exist.
