William Paley’s argument for God’s existence
This paper is on William Paley’s argument for God’s existence. You need to summarize Paley’s argument from the reading (the biggest part of the paper), briefly
critique his argument, and then argue for one side on the issue. Remember, the issue is NOT whether God exists at all, but whether one can tell if God exists through
observations of nature.
Basic Structure:
Introductory Paragraph… keep it simple!
Briefly state the main points of each section.
1. Expository Phase
Summarize the author’s arguments. That means showing how the author arrives at his conclusions. You must address each major reason supporting the author’s
conclusion. When presenting an argument, it is often best to state the conclusion first.
2. Critical Phase
Appraise his arguments. State and explain their strengths and weaknesses. You must support your conclusions, and not just list your beliefs.
3. Your Position
Like the author of the article you summarized, you must argue for your position. You should conclude that either that one can, or one cannot, tell that God exists
through observations of nature. Then, you must support your conclusion with premises. Ideally, these premises should be reasons that count for others, i.e., not
simple appeals to tradition. Make sure your conclusion and premises are clear! Also, if you agree with Paley, you cannot simply restate his argument.
Do not underestimate the importance of proper grammar, correct spelling, and good structure. If your paper displays these things, it will be easier to read and
understand. Conversely, if you have a solid argument that is not clearly presented, the argument could be missed. Proofreading your paper multiple times before
handing it in is a quick and effective way of detecting problems. The more time between proofreads (hours, days, or weeks) the better.
