Criticisms of the Teleological argument

  1. The argument does not prove that the intelligent designer is God.
  2. An intelligent designer must be far more complex than anything it is capable of designing, and the existence of life, let alone something more complex than it, is very impropable.
  3. Assumes that one can infer the existence of intelligent design merely by examination.
