There are two important points about this argument. First, it is an argument by analogy. The world resembles the objects of human design. Therefore, just as it would be reasonable, coming across a watch, to postulate a human designer, so it is reasonable, coming across the entire frame of nature, to postulate a godly designer. Second, the argument is ‘a posteriori’. That is, it argues from experience, or from what we know of the world as we find it. It is here that the evidence for design shines out.
