AO1 – 15 marks per question
- The Design Argument is also known as the Teleological

Argument, based on the word telos, meaning ‘end’ or

‘purpose’ in Greek.

- Paley’s argument is a posteriori (based on sense

experience).

o a posteriori arguments claim that we draw

conclusions based on what our senses tell us, for

example, we know that something is red because we

use our sight to observe the colour, or that an apple

is sweet – we know the apple is sweet because we

have experienced this.

o a posteriori knowledge is knowledge gained from

experience.

- Paley’s argument is inductive.

o Inductive reasoning uses premises to provide strong

evidence for the truth of the conclusion.

o Inductive reasoning gives us knowledge that is

probably true.
