Re: Evolution vs. beautiful wrist watch
And a crowd gathered around the watch and they were amazed. Who created this beautiful thing? It must be God. And they all raised their hands to the skies and prayed. Then they took the watch and built a temple around it.
A few years later, a man appeared. "Who are you?", the people asked.
"I am a watchmaker," he said.
And lo, they were happy and they danced with glee and they raised their hands to the heavens in thanks and they bestowed great wealth upon the watchmaker (and the watchmaker was rather confused, but who wants to turn down a good thing).
Then one day, a woman asked: "you created the watch and you are god, but who created you?"
The watchmaker was stumped. "Ah, um, I exist outside of space and time."
The woman replied: "That makes no sense whatsoever."
And the people started to wonder and to doubt and there was great sorrow and confusion.
So they killed the woman and everyone lived happily ever after.

I want you to imagine that you are walking through the woods and you stumble across a Wrist Watch lying on a tree stump. Would you choose to believe that the watch was a product of evolution..that everything in the universe just lined up correctly and fell into place...and voila...the Wrist watch evolved. Or would you chose to believe somewhere was a watchmaker that made the watch? I think you would believe the latter.
