The Design Argument and the Cosmological Argument
In this podcast episode, Dr. William Lane Craig discusses Jordan Peterson's comments on the design argument and the cosmological argument. The design argument suggests that the complexity and orderliness of the universe indicate the existence of a creator. Peterson, however, is not a big fan of this argument and prefers the argument by conscience. The cosmological argument posits that the universe had a beginning and that its existence requires a transcendent creator. Peterson agrees that the absolute origin of the universe requires a miracle, but he finds the argument by conscience, which aligns oneself with the structure of reality, to be more powerful.
