i mean really. i keep hearing the story of the watchmaker. guess what, if i were a watchmaker, i could make the same watch over and over again. i have yet to see two trees that are even remotely identical. you show me a group of trees that look exactly alike and i'll believe your designer story.

the point of my question people is it's open for interpretation. it's doesn't give proof in either direction to say look at nature and tell me there is/isn't a god. i've only read this question from christians so i thought i'd flip it on them.

look there is a difference between micro evolution and macro evolution there are variations within a species that is micro evolution and it exists. But show me how an organism can arise out of a soup and i will believe you. Yes Miller created some of the amino acids necessary but not all and then where do you go after that you need to get them all aligned just right in order to create the right protein and after that you again need the right amino acids to form the right way to form another protein that will bond with the one already created. This has to be done so many times to create a single celled species along with some how making DNA so its genetics and how its built can be passed on to the next. The complexity of a single celled organism is still outstanding the probability that that could happen is extremely unlikely the odds are ridiculous. And then you have to make sure that that organism survives and goes on to produce more. This stage is crucial because if there is one flaw it has too start off again with getting the right amino acids to form the same as last time. Nature if anything proves that evolution can not exist. By the way I don't care if you believe in creation or not i just don't think you should believe evolution

The lack of the identical in nature is proof of the existence of God. God is not a cloning master, he is a master artist whose each stroke is just as original as the one before it. The more and more one studies nature, the more and more one should be amazed at how complex, intricate and interrelated things are. Whatever this watchmaker stuff is ignore it.

It's remarkable, isn't it?
If you look closely at nature, you come to see that life is FAR too complex to have been the product of intelligent design. Simple things like watches can be designed through intentional processes, but even airliners seem to be running up against the limits of those processes (notice the A380 delays). And if you think that intentional design could be responsible for the origin of life, where is your evidence? I don't see scientists designing entirely new forms of life - the closest we come is to borrow heavily (to say the least) on existing life forms around us, and make modifications. Until scientists can produce something as complex as life _from scratch_, intelligent design seems like a complete pipe dream. Watches are not living organisms - not by a long shot.

I am glad the watchmaker didn't make the world or we'll all look exactly alike also, a very dull world it would be. (probably we'll all be watches) since he doesn't have an ounce of creativity.
We were skillfully, fearfully and wonderfully made by the creator the one and true God!

its called variations on a theme. I see nature as divinely designed. There are so many variations of the theme but the theme remains the same, most things have four legs or limbs, those that don't have six or eight, there are variations but the design remens the same. I see lots of different cars on the road, some souped up, some old and rusty, they were designed and then variations were made. Do you not believe that Henry Ford existed because there's more than one ford design? thats silly.

Trees why trees, why not people, ever seen identical twins?
After all man is a part of nature isn't he?
I read some of the answers above, Man pollutes and contaminates and causes the crap and then tries to blame God instead of taking personal responsibility, how lame.
The evil do get their just rewards.

It's nice to know what you would do: "guess what, if i were a watchmaker, i could make the same watch over and over again"
But you're not God. It's not your decision.

Would you consider that God is a scientist from an advanced planet; a planet formed shortly after the universe was formed 13.7 billion years ago. A planet that not only understood evolution but could create it in a post haste manner. And or could have seeded us 550 million years ago (to start our evolutionary process; The Cambrian Era - the explosion of life on Earth.

You are assuming there is an all-powerful god who created the entire universe out of dust, but somehow does not possess the power to create trees that don't look alike.
Very rational thought process there guys. I thought you atheists pride yourselves on critical thinking and stuff. You are an insult to all the intelligent atheists on here!

Nature could not have been designed by a creator that was so obtuse that he put the forbidden tree right where Adam and Eve could get at it.
