Hi Guys!
I am stuck on the next part of my course;
Re David Hume's challenge against the design argument, he says that
"The curious adapting of means to ends, throughout all nature, resembles exactly, though it much exceeds, the productions of human contrivance, of human designs, thoughts, wisdom and intelligence. Since, therefore,the effects resemble each other, we are led to infer by all the rules of analogy, that the causes also resemble; And that the author of nature is somewhat similar to the mind of man, though possessed of much larger faculties, proportioned to the grandeur of the work he has executed. By this argument a posterior i and by this argument alone do we prove at once the existence of a Diety and his similarity to human mind and intelligence?
I understand from the above that Hume is questioning the analogy that just the way human can create something for a reason, so has the universe been created and the cause of creation must be same as the effects of creation are same. Can someone please explain the underlined words. Also what exactly is Huume questioning here?
