Objections to Teleology (1 of 4 notes)

Part Three
Theology Proper: 16 PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENTS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Hume and Kant have been the chief critics of this argument also. Hume claimed that the Teleological argument, if valid, would not prove that God is either infinite or perfect. We have no proof that the universe is infinite, and therefore it would not require an infinite Creator, and we have no way of knowing that this present universe is the best possible one; in fact, after dealing with the unpleasant features of nature and of human beings, Hume concluded that one would be hard pressed to believe that the world was designed by either a very wise or a very good planner.
