LOL, in this forum I'm surprised it took four posts to get to that.

So, you find a watch in the desert. Someone says that the arrangement and proper functioning of all the parts point to the idea it could only have been designed. You say, "No, no design, no designer. It only shows that they happened to form that kind of a watch."

And you still feel and insist that it's the facts that drive you, not personal issues?

Just funny.

And you would respond by saying that because the watch evidences some intelligent design, the desert must have been made to accommodate the watch?

Hmm...now show me a watch that mates with other watches, reproduces by creating infant watches that grow into adult watches. Further, show me this reproduction that is subject to minor alterations with each generation.

When you can do that, you can compare watches with living things. Until then, the watch has nothing to do with evolution or Intelligent Design.

Most creationists stopped using the watch example after the creationist websites said it was a bad example.
