… out of the external world we can only get the idea of an architect, that which is called the Design Theory.
It is not a very logical argument, as we all know; there is something childish about it, yet it is the only little bit of anything we can know about God from the external world, that this world required a builder.
But this is no explanation of the universe.
… the God that the Design Theory gives is at best only an architect, and a limited architect of the universe;
He is bound and restricted by the materials; He is not independent at all.
- Swami Vivekananda, Class-Talk in England
