Teleological Argument Made Simple

What do you think? Are we like orphans or are we citizens of our universe? Are we just an accident, a fluke, a product of mere chance? If we have to belief the secular world we are just a result of time, space, matter, chance and impersonal laws. The Christian world-view confirms that the universe is specially crafted by a designing agent. The Creator spoke all things into existence ex nihilo (out of nothing), and directed the system and function of our universe.

In this series I would like to try to explain some of the best apologetic arguments around. Most of these arguments are around a long time already, but many Christians avoid them because they might be a bit intimidating.
