a primal "cause," which set this chain in motion and God is pictured as this primal motivator. In part IV of David Humes Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, various individuals
are pictured as having an argument that presents a cosmological explanation for the existence of God. Part IV opens with Cleanthes disagreeing with Demea over a mystical view of
God, but Philo interrupts and offers a completely different argument. He observes that if the universe has an intelligent designers (that is, if the cosmological argument is true), than
the order of the universe is no more comprehensible than if there were no God. Basically, Philo offers an objection to the cosmological argument that essentially states that this
regarding God as the ultimate cause does not answer anything, but rather simply displaces human ignorance into another area. What Philo does not seem to understand is that Cleanthes
