The Watchmaker

Could the pieces of a watch magically form and create a watch without the help of a watchmaker? It would be easier for that to happen then for life to be created from non-life.


6-3-07: I was watching this video clip, and a couple of thoughts came to my mind. If this universe and all the life on Earth came about because of happenchance, if it was all just luck that the "Big Boom" cast the planets in just the right distance from the Sun so that everything would be in a perfect orbit around it, if amino acids just happened to come together to form proteins which just happened to come together to form DNA that just happened to come together to form a single celled organism that just happened to transform itself into a multi-celled organism that just happened to... well on and on, and it sounds so stupid. It violates the laws of science. You can't get life from non-life and the universe is in a constant state of increasing entropy or disorder not increased order. Well, back to my thought. If all this came about by just chance, then why haven't our scientists been able to engineer a life form from nothing? They should atleast be able to gather up some amino acids and create some sort of tiny little life form. Really, if the universe just happened to form on it's own, then our scientists should be able to purposefully engineer the creation of planets and populate them with life forms. But they can't. The creation of the universe was SUPERnatural. It goes beyond the laws of science. It was divine. The complexities of the human brain, of the eye, of our cells can't be some huge stroke of luck. It seems so strange to me that some of the smartest people on our planet have more faith in coincidence and chance than in the possibility of a divine being who loves us.
