Teleology Where Reason and Intuition Meet
... The section after that will leave reason behind for the moment and explore the possibility that intuition also agrees with reason in that purpose is what defines and drives our lives, as well as all of the universe. ... I hope that my examples will help to relate real life, and intuition into the issues that I am addressing and the argument that I am trying to complete. ... I don’t think that it is enough that an argument just address either reason or emotion, but it must take on both, and come to a conclusion that satisfies them. ... The major flaw that people come to is that they refuse to find relation between humans as creators and God as a creator, I think that this is the point where some people can find no better counterargument to this and wish for a reason to dismiss it. ... There are some things that will stump the common person, and maybe even things that will cause specialized and educated people to falter about their reason for certain things in the universe. ... We see by looking at history that there are many things that seemed useless and having no real reason for existence, but as we learned more we found out what their purpose was. ... The argument does not say whether we are designed for good or for evil, it simply says we are created with an intended purpose, so many arguments fall apart against teleology at this point. Teleology is also supported by the findings in the scientific field. ... This is where I link in that intuition leads to purpose. ... This relates to intuition in the Anderson 6 way that we feel something, and we know something that we cannot explain. The something that we feel is our intuition, something that science simply throws away, but to us individually it drives our lives and causes us to act or feel or want. Feeling is directly related to intuition and the emotions we have can drive us to do the most wonderful things, as well as the most terrible. ... I began to search for anything that could give me reason to believe in something new. ... Concluding I want to stress the point that I think that both reason and intuition lead to the design of purpose, and I hope that I have clearly expressed both sides of this argument. I think that the reason side of the argument holds very firm against most of the Anderson 8 complaints against it. ... Although the idea isn’t fool proof, it is simply a way to convey the intuition part of the plan, since it cannot be said to be true or not how I felt, not is it possible for anyone to argue that they feel that same as someone else, or know that certain objects can or cannot experience their existence. ... The second part of the argument shows that this being also effects us from our instinctive nature to fine a reason in life.
