Except we're not talking about an explosion.
The big bang is not an explosion. It is a rapid expansion of the dimensions, from a point which contained all the energy in the universe, and some of that would become the matter in the universe, unevenly, so it clustered into nebulae, then stars and galaxies. In those nuclear furnaces was made the heavier elements that would be found in later star systems.
And it's not true that all complex things are made by intelligences. Only ones that violate normal laws of physics and chemistry. Evolution does not violate the normal laws of physics or chemistry. It operates by the standard laws of organic chemistry. When a person makes a watch (or any mechanical thing), they use techniques that go against the normal order of things-- for instance, they apply heat to get metal out of the oxidized ore (or other chemical combinations) that is the normal state of that material, and then apply force to shape it. Not natural.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
