> if I'm walking through the woods and come across a book laying on the ground, is it more reasonable to assume that an intelligent being created a book full of information or that the book naturally came into being after "random" genetic mutations over millions and millions of years.
*One* book on it's own implies an intelligent agent. A planet covered in books busilly consuming each other and available natural resources and breeding more books... that implies natural forces. Weird natural forces, maybe, but natural.
That's why the lame watch/Mustang/book analogy is just... lame. It's not well thought out, in that it does not do a good job of analogizing reality. There *is* more than one organism on the planet, you know.
