Arguments for God
Hume's Criticisms
Hume argues that the analogy of the watch is weak, as there are not many similarities between the mechanics of a watch and the mechanics of the world.
Order in the world does not necessarily mean that someone must have had the idea of the design - it is an essential part of the world's existence, could not come about by chance.
The universe is unique, so we cannot know how universes are usually made or whether ours is unusually orderly.
Just because the things in the universe have causes, it does not follow that the universe as a whole must have some kind of universal cause.
