Is this section you will be tested on your knowledge of classical design arguments, such as those of Paley and Aquinas, and how those arguments work.
You also will be asked how arguments from philosophy (particularly those of David Hume), and arguments from science (particularly those of Richard Dawkins) may challenge the 'success' of the design arguments.
You also need to be aware of modern arguments from design, such as that of Richard Swinburne, may respond to philosophical and scientific criticisms, and if they successfully create a persuasive design argument for a modern believer.

Many people use analogy to help people fully understand a statement; it is being able to use the same adjective to describe two completely different things. For example, "a leaf in autumn is crispy, like crunchy nut" however these two things would contrast in everyday life, however help someone to understand the description being given.

Another analogy example: my maths teacher is bald, my friends maths teacher is bald, therefor all maths teachers are bald.
(my friends maths teacher is actually a woman -who isn't bald- but i liked the example)

Analogy example that has logic but describes two completely different things :- changing a tyre on a car is like putting on your shoes
