The argument from design, known to aesthetes as the teleological argument, was attributed to William Paley, holds that the amount of intricate design and machinery required for life the universe and everything to exist is so staggeringly great, and it's provenance by chance so improbable, that it cannot have come about by itself or by chance, and therefore necessarily is the work of an intelligent designer of the universe. A God, in other words.
