a common ancestor over a prolonged period based on natural selection processes. This theory directly defied religious beliefs at the time; more specifically those of the Catholic church which believes in creationism, or in a more general sense intelligent design. Creationism is essentially a belief that existence was created by omnipotent beings, for example the Christian god Yahweh. This clash between religion and science brought about the debate between evolution and creationism which still rages

universe provides evidence for the existence of an intelligent designer (or orderer) usually identified as God. A classic version of this argument appears in William Paley's 1802 Natural Theology, where Paley compares the complexity of living things to the inferior complexity of a watch that we deduce to be designed by an intelligent being. Just as a watch could not exist without a watchmaker, Paley argued, living things could not exist without an intelligent designer. The teleological or design argument

school science classes.

More specifically, the question is raised: “Is there a place for the supernatural in the field of science?” Considering this question has considerable implications for your worldview. It may in fact, be determinative of or determined by your worldview. The reason this central issue is a worldview issue is that, when we consider the place of theology in science, we are really considering the place of God

the existence of God; one of which was the Teleological argument. For Aquinas, these arguments point to a being “that we call God”. To prove the existence of god, he used the analogy of the archer, arrow and target to show that there must be an intelligent being who is directing being to their end or purpose. For example, an archer must direct his arrow towards the target in order for it to fulfil its purpose. Without the archer the arrow will not hit the target. Aquinas argues from Design Qua (relating
