What does the design argument suggest?

  1. The world has always been chaotic

  2. There is no evidence of design in the world

  3. The world’s design implies there must be a designer, which is God

  4. Design in the world suggests randomness

The correct answer is: The world has always been chaotic

The design argument suggests that there is a purposeful and intentional design in the world, rather than chaos. Option A is the correct answer because the design argument proposes that the existence of order and complexity in the world is evidence of a creator or designer. Options B and D are incorrect because they both suggest that there is no evidence of design or purpose in the world. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that the design argument is specifically linked to the existence of God, when in reality it can also be applied to other beliefs or ideas about creation.
