"Argument from Natural Order "under Logical Criticism

The philosophical look at religion as well as an analysis and a comparison of the claims and arguments presented by religious doctrines are among those topics put forward in philosophy of religion .One of the common discussions in the philosophy of religion in general is God and the evidences for proving Him; here, the "argument from natural order "enjoys the feature of being commonly discussed in two important intellectual disciplines of Islamic theology and Christian theology. In this paper, we have tried to delineate the main status of the "argument for natural order "by analytically scrutinizing the premises of this argument to determine the logical value and limit of claim and the certain limit of the consequences resulted from inherent premises. In view of the fact that the "argument for natural order "lacks the qualities of an argument generating a certain, general and necessary result, it is said, following the Islamic philosophers, that it can be utilized as a further contemplative confirmation for inciting reflection on the integrity of creation, which is suggestive of the Creatorʹs knowledge and wisdom .
