RE: Does the Teleology argument prove the existence of God?
The existence of higher intelligence is a possibility yet certainly not needed to explain the existence of DNA or even live. The only phenomenon that we observe that actually requires an impact from something or someone outside our world is MOTION. Any moving object, be it a star or an atom needs to be put in motion by force and can´t start moving on it´s own. Therefore, when the first object in our universe started to move, the impetus needed to come from somewhere "outside". This is my understanding of the kinetic argument proposed by Thomas d´Aquin.
Thanks @shaka, I have never read anything from Thomas d´Aquin, but from your summary I agree that something needed to come from outside to set everything in motion. I will read a bit more on this and comment again at a later stage.
That's the spirit! Thomas Aquinas argues logically and irrefutably that there must be a prime mover in order to get the first motions going. Dig in!
Lol, thanks for the comment on a very old post:) I am still reading about this and love the subject :)
