reply to both questions below about God Ch. 4(pp. 37-55). Then end your post by asking a question about the reading. I will use this discussion to inform our in-class discussion so remember what you wrote in case I ask you to elaborate or if your question gets answered.
According to Paley, what property (or properties) do we observe in the watch that leads us to accept the hypothesis that there was a watchmaker who designed it? What things in nature have a similar property and what exactly is the hypothesis that Paley thinks this should lead us to accept?
In class on Tuesday, I discussed the “Humean critique” and the “Darwinian critique” of the argument from design. Pick one and explain whether you think it ultimately succeeds or fails at undermining the Paley’s argument.
Again, make sure to end your post with a question about the reading to your instructor or classmates. After Thursday’s class (and after the Discussion is reopened), feel free to return here and reply to your classmates as much as you’d like. This is optional, but may afford extra credit if your replies are thoughtful and accurate.                                                                              ___________________________________________________________________________________________________Important criteria for your SUMMARY —a quotation or short passage along with clarifying remarks, definitions, and contextual info.
Relative Length: Each summary should be no more than 50% of the entry
Terms: Make sure to briefly define any special terms when you introduce them
Important criteria for your ANALYSIS —an argument for an unobvious interpretation or a practical application of the text

Relative Length: Each analysis should be more than 50% of the entry
Thesis: There should be an easily-identifiable thesis (your ‘stance’, position, or interpretation of that part of the reading you summarized)

Argument: Justify your thesis with a brief argument (i.e., why you’re taking that ‘stance’ or why you think your interpretation is helpful)
Examples (optional): Provide examples from your own life if you think they’d be helpful. In general, I’m fine with first-person pronouns.
