Abstract
In this paper, the theory of irreducible complexity which contradicts and refutes the Darwinian Evolution is regarded as the proper and defendable way to the existence of God. Thus, I have first tried to classify the irreducible complexity proof as one of the branches of teleological arguments and then to explain that all of teleological arguments have the unique structure as far as the analogical and inductive components are concerned.
The other part of this paper is the serious doubts and obstacles that I have put in front of the compatibility of Darwinian Evolution and Natural Selection with the existence of the intelligent which has severe defenders among contemporary philosophers.
