Quote:The watchmaker analogy / argument rests on the proposition that the presence of order necessarily implies design, and therefore a designer. The argument fails because we can observe order arising from natural processes, and so we cannot conclude that design is necessary for order.

Are there specific observations of this scientifically?

Yes.

Snowflakes, crystalline minerals, and many others.
