Nature comes first before any designer.
And every designer is made of natural materials that were here longer before the designer stepped on the scene.
Just a little something to think about before you make arguments that don't hold water.
I think you're kind of ignoring the essential philosophical paradox there.
Where did the natural materials come from? More nature? Is it turtles, all the way down? How?
@bennyboy:
Your argument is also called "The 'watchmaker argument" . This an argument used by theists to 'prove'e intelligent design . In another guise, it becomes 'irreducible complexity.' It's simply incorrect.
The article linked below is too long to post here, but I recommend it to those with an open mind. I exclude apologists from that group.
.
There is a HUGE amount of information online about this particular argument if you are unconvinced by the article.
