Abstract :In this paper, I examine the logical structure of teleological argument and D. Hume`s critiques about it, then evaluate the arguments power and significance. Hume`s critiques can be summed up in two main points. 1. About the premise of the argument: The concept of `theological order` is based on an anthropomorphic analogy and this is inappropriate. 2. About the conclusion of the argument: TheArgument doesn`t lead us to the God of theistic religions. In the paper, different concepts of order are analyzed and according to this analysis Hume`s critiques are discussed widely in the light of R. Swinburne`s new formulation of the argument. At the end, in the light of those discussions, I investigate power and significance of the argumentKeywords : God, Argument, Teleology, Order, Design, David Hume, Richard Swinburne
