Because there is a third possibility according to which the world can be the result of the gradual evolution of its parts.<br /> Against this claim, some theologians have tried to respond to Dawkins&#039;s claim by presenting a new version of the teleological argument despite accepting the theory of evolution.<br /> Due to the fact that this issue has been less discussed, this research tries to explain some of the most important Presentations of the Teleological Argument, assuming the acceptance of the theory of evolution.<br /> Therefore, the fundamenta question is whether by accepting Darwin&#039;s theory of evolution, the context for all interpretations of the argument of order is lost; Or still the form or forms of the order argument can be valid with the belief in evolution? What are these forms? After explaining Dawkins&#039;s claim, this research deals with the answers that have been given to these problems assuming the acceptance of the theory of evolution. In the end, it is shown that even assuming the acceptance of the theory of evolution, it is possible to present new Presentations of the proof of order. Presentations that do not notice Dawkins&#039; objections.
