divine design
Heaven's master plan
Divine design is the belief that the universe, life, or specific features of existence were intentionally created by a deity or higher intelligence rather than arising through undirected natural processes.
The phrase appears in theological arguments and debates about evolution: Proponents of divine design see purpose in the complexity of living organisms.
It overlaps with intelligent design but emphasizes the specifically godly nature of the designer.
