The paper looks at the scientific evidence acquired from observations of the wider cosmos arguing whether it supports the theological idea of cosmic design behind the appearance and behaviour of the Universe. The anthropocentric world view of the cosmic design theory is argued, the concepts of entropy and ‘fine tuning’ are discussed with reference to the features of the Universe.
