I find Hume's attempt to cripple the design theory incredibly indecisive. He disagreed with someones point of view and instead of acting like a well educated adult and clearly stating he disagreed and explaining why he did little sneak attacks against the belief of God creating everything and never owned what he believed. He "chipped away at the foundation of belief by exposing weaknesses in various theistic arguments." He used cheap tactics to expose the flaws of what others believed in rather and did not even give them an alternate path. Basically Hume discreetly told every one that they were wrong, but did not back up his theories in any way. Which by the way Hume did not even allow his book Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion to be published until after his death.
Hume introduced many great points, that when completely thought out and explained can make perfect sense, but Hume did not completely think them through nor did he bother to explain his ideas to anyone else.
