AnswerTeleology is the philosophical study of design and purpose. A teleological school of thought holds that there is an inherent purpose or final cause for all that exists, and that all things were designed for or directed toward a final result. Most theology presupposes a teleology. Apparent design in nature is used as a teleological argument for the existence of God.
