The purpose of the design argument is to investigate the proof on God's existence on earth and how and why he created the universe.

Cleanthes uses analogical reasoning to justify God's intelligent design. He claims to oversee the world as a well-oiled machine. Basically explaining that before you create a machine, you have to have a design in mind and a motive. In this quote he elaborates, “Look round the world: Contemplate the whole and every part of it: You will find it to be nothing but one great machine, subdivided into an infinite number of lesser machines … The curious adapting of means to end, throughout all nature, resembles exactly, though it
