The watchmaker analogy

[robvalue]

Yeah, you'd see a watch lying on a beach made of watches, next to a sea made of watches under the sky made of watches. And you'd think, "Oh, look, a watch. Boy am I sick of those."

The argument is bollocks, of course. Even if you grant it completely, it is still the fallacy of composition to try and apply the same result to the universe as a whole.

Simplicity is the hallmark of design, not complexity.
