Well, it's a good thing that was not what I argued. My point is you can't appeal to apparent design in nature as evidence for the divine, since we have very good scientific/naturalistic explanations for that. If you want to argue that nevertheless there has to be some starting point ultimately, then you should've brought up one of the first cause arguments instead of this watchmaker type of argument.
ETA: A question out of curiosity. Do you believe God is involved in the natural selection aspect of biological evolution?
