Examining the Rational Explanation of the Argument from Design in Ayatullah MuÚahhari’s View

Shahid MuÚahhari has an exact viewpoint about the “Argument from Design”. His significant emphasis is that only by seeing the agent cause one cannot result the being of God through the current design in the universe and even through the current causality in it; because design as such is resulted both from final cause and agent cause, and by merely realization of the agent cause the design could not completely fulfilled. By explaining important issues in this regard, he attempts to give an acceptable utterance of this argument so that it would be possible to talk about it as a scholarly and rational argument. Ayatullah Jawadi Amoli also has suitable points to complete the argument. In the present essay, firstly the dimensions of MuÚahhari’s point of view in rational explaining of the argument from the design is explained and, then, by offering some cases of the views of Ayatullah Jawadi, it will be attempted to answer some criticisms to this argument from this approach.
