From Cornman/Lehrer/Pappas p. 276

It is often claimed that the theory of evolution has rendered the argument from design untenable. Why? Copleston, on the other hand, has argued that "If Aquinas had lived in the days of the evolutionary hypothesis, he would doubtless have argued this hypothesis supports rather than invalidates the conclusion of the [design] argument." Explain how Aquinas might have used this theory to bolster the argument from design.

From Perry/Bratman p. 132

Do you think Paley is right that even if we had never seen a watch being made or had never known anyone capable of making one, we would still conclude that the watch was created by some kind of agency? Why or why not?

Pascal's Wager:

"If we wager that God exists and he does then we gain eternal bliss; if he does not then we have lost nothing. If we wager that God does not exist and he does, then eternal misery is our share; if he does not  we gain only a lucky true belief. The obvious wager is to bet God exists. With such a bet we have everything to gain and nothing to lose. This is far superior to a bet where we have little to gain and everything to lose."
