Design Argument
William Paley argued that if you were
walking in a deserted place and found a stone, you might conclude it had always
been there or was natural to that place. But if you came across a watch, even
if you had never seen one before, its inner workings (cogs, wheels and springs)
would convince you that someone had designed it. The intricate pieces could not
have come together by themselves. Paley said that the universe is even more
complicated than the watch. Therefore the universe, like the watch, must have
had a designer. The only designer able to design such a complex and intricate
universe is God.
