David Hume

This is David Hume!
I've just finished learning about him. My textbook actually mentioned how the young Earl of Charlemont said (of Hume) -
"His face was broad and fat, his mouth wide, and without any other expression that that of imbecility...
The corpulence of his whole person was far better fitted to communicate the idea of a turtle-eating alderman than that of a refine philosopher."

Hume's appearance unsettled the young Earl, it says.

hahahahahaha.
Understatement much!

Anyways!
One of the oldest and most popular arguments for God's existence is the design argument -- that all the order and 'purpose' in the world bespeaks a divine origin.

(I was about to copy and paste his argument in point form then decided you would die reading it.)

This guy basically refuted everything.
I don't like him much but whatever!
It's funny reading about him.
