This study we proposed an investigation of the criticisms of David Hume about 'Argument from Design', existing in his book Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. These criticisms are aimed to point out the weaknesses of that argument, as the foundation of the theory that advocates the creation of the world from God. We also aim to clarify the dialectical and argumentative Humean way, which, from an empiricist perspective, proposes that all knowledge can, only, comes from a sensitive experience. Hume is unable or refute and destroy this argument, if propose an alternative to replace, is what we examine in the present. The book is composed by four chapters, and we begin by presenting the 'Argument from Design', in the form that became known. Then, we will effectively contact the book Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, going through approach the construction of the criticisms developed by Hume (Philo) to finally demonstrate that, despite appearing to have Philo, has failed in dialogue - a feat that only confirms the mastery of language Hume - ratified under a veil of discretion, the position taken throughout the dialogue.
