Among the various arguments which have been presented to prove the existence of God, argument from the order in the universe is unique from many respects. On the one hand, the vast majority of religious believers cite the same argument and on the other hand, religious Scriptures, especially Islamic texts have repeatedly raised this argument and have invited people to pay attention to it. The theologian cannot deal with this argument, like other arguments. He can pass along any argument and refuse it, but if he does not accept argument from the order in the universe, first he must find an alternative argument to offer to the masses, and secondly, he must defend religious Scriptures why such texts have presented a flawed argument and indeed the people have been deceived. The strange point is that though the Islamic scriptures have paid much more attention to this argument in comparison with Christian texts, but Christian scholars and theologians more than Muslim scholars have considered this argument and defended it. It appears that in the history of philosophy and Islamic theology enough attention has not been paid to it. In the new era in the West, some people like David Hume and Immanuel Kant have criticized this argument and arisen several difficulties related to this argument which the review and study of the main difficulties show that none of them is certain and proven and thus the argument from the order in the universe can survive despite such objections.
