There are at least two important inaccuracies on this page:

1. There is no such thing as an a posteriori argument. The design argument is an inductive argument, that uses a posteriori reasoning and synthetic statements.

2. The design argument was not first proposed by William Paley. It was, for example, the fifth way in Aquinas's Summa Theologiae several hundred years previously.
