Philo Says, "If We See a House, Cleanthes, We Conclude

question 4

True/False

Philo says, "If we see a house, Cleanthes, we conclude, with the greatest certainty, that it had an architect or builder, because this is precisely that species of effect, which we have experienced to proceed from that species of cause. But surely you will not affirm, that the universe bears such a resemblance to a house." Philo's point is that the difference between a house and the universe is too great for the analogy to work.
