What do you mean by "it is specious"? And whyso?

Because it argues that the beneficiary is the cause, not the effect. To use BibChr's example, it is like finding a watch, then asking how the sun and the moon and the stars were all made to reflect the inner workings of the watch. It's inverted cause and effect.

Okay, by that pre-quantum mechanics theory of cause and effect, you'd be right. Right and almost a 100 years behind the times. Since quantum mechanics we can no longer say that effect does not shape cause. And that post-QM era is what much of this post is about.
