  • What is the watch analogy?
    If you came across a watch on a heath, the person who found it will look at how well its made and conclude that there must be a watch maker.
    Paley said that looking at the watch is the same as looking at the world or the human body, its so intricate that there must be a divine intelligence that designed it
  • If God cared enough about each insect to design it with such attention to detail then people can be confident that God will care or them too.
