Clearly state Hume’s objection to or endorsement of this claim

Question 1. Suppose someone argues that the order of the mind of God- his intentions and

ideas about how to design the world- can explain the observed order in the world. (a) Does

Hume agree? Clearly state Hume’s objection to or endorsement of this claim. (175 words

max.)

When someone argues that the order of God’s mind is explained by how the world is

designed, it means that they are in line with the design theory. Hume disagrees with the design

theory that states the world is in great order, and there is much detail, which is an indicator that

radiation and cosmic radiation. Hume also objects to the claim that God’s mind is in order

concerning the world’s order by stating that no one can justify that claim. He also adds that a

person can only justify that claim in two ways, which are probable reasoning and demonstrative

reasoning, and according to him, none of those is adequate. (175 words)

Descarters’ view of the mind, and she wrote to him, asking him the soul’s effect on a human

being can affect the bodily spirits if it was only a thinking substance. She agrees with Descartes’s

idea that the mind affects the body. She, however, states that it is hard to incorporate that

ideology. She disagreed with dualism by stating when anything makes a move; then the
