Q

summarise the watch analogy

A

if Paley said that if you were walking and found a watch on the ground, you’d notice how all its parts fit together perfectly to make it work. You would naturally conclude that it must have been designed by a watchmaker, not made by chance.

He then compared this to the universe — the world is far more complex and ordered than a watch, so it too must have a designer. Paley argued that this designer is God.
