known as arguments from design which state that the universe is being ordered to an end or purpose. Furthermore, it also leads to an intelligent being creating the universe as it is so complex with purpose rather than it being this way by chance. These arguments proceed by attempting to identify various empirical features of the world that constitute evidence of intelligent design and inferring God’s existence as the best explanation for these features. St Aquinas argued that many objects in the

I worked on the legal aspect of animal testing ethics. I researched what factors had lead to the development of current laws in the US and other nations. The US has fairly few laws in place when compared to other nations, and focused mainly on more evolved animals. Nations like Australia and New Zealand have more extensive laws, banning all commercial research and requiring in-depth justification reports and constant updates.

The first theory for this is known as creationism. The other is evolution and most schools have encouraged this. Why is one not right

continue to believe in intelligent design while others in evolution, it is a battle that will no doubt continue on, with unnatural selections for some. Intelligent design is primarily a religious belief and not a scientific tenet, which forms the basis for why it should not be taught in public school science courses.

complexities of DNA to RNA and the order of life as natural progression of evolution. In fact, McCloskey implies that evolution displaces the need for a designer. I, however, disagree. One thing that evolution does is offers an explanation contrary to intelligent design regarding the scientific observations of the natural order of life.
