| | I hear the Evolutionist are down on "the Watch" illustration as a good parallel or argument. This is how I see it.
My Evolutionary friend and I are walking in the woods when we come across a perfect, running, watch. I say, "Wow. This is amazing. Here we are both with broken watches and we find a beautiful watch in the woods." My friend agreed. We couldn't find the makers name on the watch. It had no indications at all as to who had made it. Regardless, I declare, "Whoever made this watch was quite a watch maker. Such fine craftsmanship."
My friend replies, "I don't believe anyone made it. It could have come about by some other means."
"Such as?" I say.
"Well, all of the parts of the watch could be found in nature: metal, leather, glass, even the oil on the gears. So, maybe there was an explosion of fantastic proportions that could have brought all of these parts together in precisely the right order, assembling this fine watch."
"An explosion brought all these things together? Designed and crafted this watch? I don't see it." Says, I.
"Well, it makes perfect sense if we consider that there could be billions of explosions all over the woods but maybe they are invisible and unobservable. With that in mind it is not as incredible that one watch was created."
"That seems even more incredible." I am forced to say, to my smugly friend.
Then Jesus walks up and says, "Hi, I made the watch."
My friend didn't believe Him. But I did. He asked me for my broken watch and fixed it. He said he could fix my friends but my friend wouldn't let Him. |
