Just to make the stainless steel casing requires a huge amount of directed energy. To assemble all of the parts requires ordered, sequential and intelligent construction.(March 21, 2016 at 5:48 pm)AJW333 Wrote: I don't know if you saw my wristwatch analogy but if you found a watch with no markings, you would still conclude that it was designed by someone, even if you couldn't identify that person by looking at the watch. You would still be satisfied that they existed. Tracking down the designer may indeed be difficult but one thing is for certain - they exist. And another thing is possible - if you found him, you may not like him.
How do you determine that? I know this fallacious analogy hinges on just skipping past to the conclusion, but what actual logical steps do you take, upon seeing a watch, upon seeing any object, that leads you to the conclusion that it was designed? What observations do you make to get you to that point?
