摘要
This article offers a brief overview of the argument for God's existence grounded in the evidence of design. It pays particular attention to the way the argument has evolved over time and in relation to changing scientific perspectives. The argument from design has in fact been formulated and reformulated in response to the discoveries and challenges it has encountered from the field of science. The conclusion of the article explores the theological importance of this argument with respect to its extent and its limits.
