The Maker

"The watchmaker" is a reference to God; the one who designed and created things we see and know today. It is a very old concept and one that has seen much use. Within the past decade however, an atheistic writer has coined the revision, "The Blind Watchmaker" as an insult to Gods creative works in an effort to state that their is no God because God would not make the world as it is. While God did not make the world "as it is" today (thereby removing the bite of his commentary) people still hold onto this phrase as a rebuttal to the videos point.

Their are many complaints about this video, but one I hear a lot is that you cannot compare metal and plastic mechanics to organic mechanics. Essentially, "watches, being made of inorganic material, don't evolve so the comparison is fallacious". However, they say this missing the point...


Obviously, a watch needs a designer as it is just matter (chemicals, minerals, etc) and no person believes matter can self-design. Most evolutionists would agree to this point, but once they do they backed into a corner as the truth is they all accept the notion of matter self-designing when they claim evolution to be true. At one point long ago, according to them, inorganic materials mixed and created "organic" life. They then go further down that rocky road to claim that these organics composed of inorganic materials can generate complexity to give the appearance of design.

Is this not the weakest and most self-defeating argument they could create?! A shame so many trust it implicitly. In reality the watchmaker argument for Gods creations still rings true. Take a look at the video...
