John Henry Newman’s argument from conscience to the existence of God is an example of a teleological argument because it argues from structure or design, in this case the structure of the operation of the human mind, to the existence of a superior being, God. The structure of this presentation revolves around, first, the significance and importance of the argument from design, and second, the way in which Newman dealt with the intellectual challenge this argument presented. Newman was a part of the discussion that attempted to resolve the conflict between the old assumption and the new hypotheses. The Deistic metaphor of the clock and the clock-maker is evidence that the teleological argument is partially rooted in the Newtonian concept of motion. Newman’s argument is stated in a number of places from the University Sermons to the Grammar of Assent. In his Proof of Theism, Newman quotes first from his University Sermon.
