The Argument of Design?

[QuestionMark]

Recently, there have been some TV shows that had guests argue the existence of 'God' because of "Design".

This argument has always been convincing to believers, and for some non-believers, difficult to dispute.

This is my response:


It takes intelligence to design a clock.

The clock designer goes to Home Depot to purchase brass, screws, etc. He doesn't randomly throw the components together to form the clock. The designer must first think, and plan, and then assemble the clock. This is proof of intelligent design.

Look at the Universe, how the planets travel around the sun, it is like a giant clock. Don't you see how there must be an intelligent God to design the universe?


My single question:


Where was the Home Depot of the sky where God purchased the materials for the Universe?

QM?

I suppose He made the materials Himself. He is a do-it-yourself Guy.

That's easy.

Before God said, "Let there be light," and all the rest that is recorded in Genesis, where he is understood to have created all things ''ex nihilo," he said, "Let there be a Cosmic Home Depot from which I can create a universe," and said Home Depot was likewise created ex nihilo.

Well if that is true, why use the design argument?

Just believe ink on paper that someone formed into words and that you were taught as THE Truth.

Just believe that create means Create, making something out of nothing.

Umm, the universe is not just the solar system or the like. Think about galaxies colliding with each other, think about comets and asteroids banging into planets and each other at random. The designer got it a bit cockeyed it would seem.

Also have you seen an evolving clock?
