Design Arguments of Aquinas and Paley | Get Solution Now

Write a paper in which you compare and contrast the design arguments of Aquinas and Paley. The papers for reading are attached to this. You must read Thomas Aquinas pages 1-8 and Paley pages 46-55. A good paper should address the following points: Compare and contrast the explananda (the features X) of each argument by identifying why each requires an explanation beyond the laws or processes of nature. Discuss the analogies used by Aquinas (the archer) and by Paley (the watchmaker). Do these analogies present different kinds or ways of being a designer? If so, why? If not, why not? Evaluate the reasons given by Paley and Aquinas respectively for why each one’s respective feature X could not happen by chance. Are either susceptible to objections from scientists (like Carroll and Dawkins) that these features do plausibly arise by chance? Instructions Length: Minimum of 500 words. Formatting Requirements: Double spaced, 12 point font, Times New Roman, 1 inch margins Citations: Chicago Manuel of Style. You may use footnotes or parenthetical citations .
