Strength is that there is evidence of design, weakness is that there is no proof there there is a designer of the world and that he is God.

Teleology is the study in evidences of design in nature. A teleological approach refers to the idea of freewill that things are goal directed. Teleology can also mean as the use of design or purpose as a reason of natural phenomena.
The philosophical doctrine which suggests that the universe has purpose is called teleology. Teleology also suggests that the universe has a designer.

An example of teleology is the belief that a plant grows towards the sun in order to maximize its exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis, suggesting that the plant has a purpose or goal in its behavior.

Teleology is the philosophical concept that suggests that phenomena are explained by their purpose, goal, or function. It focuses on the end or final cause of things rather than simply their immediate causes.
Teleology is doing something that is GOOD for the majority of people. (Ex. taking money from a rich person to spread it amongst the poor.) Deontology is doing what is RIGHT and may not necessarily produce a good outcome. ("The end does not justify the means.)
One disadvantage of teleology is that it can rely on subjective notions of purpose or goal, which may not align with empirical evidence or scientific understanding. Additionally, it can sometimes lead to oversimplification of complex systems by attributing intentions or design where none may exist.
