Archie, Lee C, "Thomas Aquinas, ‘The Argument from Design,’" Philosophy of Religion (June 26, 2006) URL=<http://philosophy.lander.edu/intro/governance.shtml>.
“… Hume does not hold that the argument from design
is simply fallacious or invalid. On the contrary, he acknowledges its
force. When he contemplates the order of the world, he too is led to
treat it as the manifestation of what transcends the world.”
H. O. Mounce, Hume's Naturalism (London: Taylor & Francis, 1999), 117.
