Notes	This article is about a particular example of the intelligent design argument, which is one of the theistic arguments put forward to prove the existence of God. The evidence for intelligent design, in contrast to the theory of evolution, is central to debates between religion and science. In this context, the problem addressed by the article is the validity and persuasiveness of Dembski's design argument based on spatial regularities. Both historical and contemporary versions of design arguments predominantly focus on spatial regularities. However, as the theory of evolution became widely accepted in scientific and philosophical circles, design arguments based on spatial regularities were seriously criticized. In this context, the aim of the article is to examine philosophically a contemporary example of design arguments based on spatial regularities and to determine whether it maintains its strength against objections originating from the theory of evolution. Literature review, one of the qualitative data collection methods, was used in the study, and the obtained data were subjected to philosophical evaluation in terms of consistency and defensibility. This subject, which has a very comprehensive place in discussions in the context of philosophy of religion, science and religion, is limited to Dembski's evidence and the objections to it. As a result of this study, it will be argued that Dembski's design argument based on spatial regularities is not convincing enough in the face of criticisms based on the theory of evolution.
