The Watchmaker (Creation vs Evolution)

This Watchmaker Flash animation confronts popular, evolutionary thought by challenging the viewer that design necessitates a Designer



To add to the video: Consider this simple argument.

Why is a laptop of the similar config. to a workstation, 'usually' more expensive than a workstation?... because more design work, additional technology, design complexity and possibly more advanced materials go into it than a workstation, specifically to 'shrink' or 'fit' or 'miniaturize' the same hardware functionality into a smaller form-factor.

Now apply the same analogy to compare, say a small cat and a human, both of them have fully functional life sustaining systems..like a digestive system, respiratory System, musculo-skeletal system, nervous system and possibly others that we don't know of yet! .. Both organisms are completely enabled and functional to carry on with their daily activities. Form-factor wise which one do you think might need more design complexity? Then take it one level further and compare the above two with a mosquito which also has 'all' the necessary life sustaining systems plus the ability to fly!

The evolutionary theory contradicts a very basic entropy law, the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

There are several arguments and counter arguments about this 'controversy' just google for them and see what make sense to 'you'.
