ABSTRACT
I began by posing the challenge of the scientific naturalist, namely that all physical phenomena have an explanation from within science. We saw the mistake of arguments from design which seek to explain gaps in scientific knowledge by appeal to God. Rather, a viable argument from design must appeal to more general features of the universe such as the existence of order and the nature of the scientific laws which obtain. Very soon we saw that science is predicated on a belief in order in the universe, and in the epistemic value of elegance and simplicity in the evaluation of scientific theories. These considerations and the utility ofthe inductive method cannot be explained from within science and are already pointers to design.
