Abstract

This article argues for teleology, the belief in inherent purpose in nature, as evidenced by scientific observation. The author traces the historical development of this perspective, highlighting figures like John Ray and William Paley who saw God's design in the natural world. Turner then presents a series of examples—from the unique properties of Earth and matter to the intricate structures of living organisms—to support the claim that these features demonstrate divine planning, rather than random chance as proposed by evolutionary theory. He ultimately contends that understanding the Bible is crucial to correctly interpreting and utilizing God's creation.
