It is the perfect argument, everyone knows it. Athiests and Monkies are just too scared to admit it.

Haha, yes the old "Watchmaker Argument". A really great parody of this, written by an atheist, can be found here (where basically he uses the watch to explain how evolution works):

I don't often cut and paste, but this question is very good, and the author of the watch story should be quoted;
"The stars are out in all their glory. As I stargaze, I think how lucky I am that the universe is a place where the laws of physics allow life and intelligence to evolve. I wonder, for just a moment, if those laws just happened, or if they were the product of intelligent design. I laugh, and go back to stargazing. I do catch-on eventually; given enough time."
The man has a marvelous mind, and the soul of an artist. Check the page out;

Pardon me for being slow, but you're going to have to make some kind of application.

I don't know, but will the beggar that found my watch in the middle of the desert please return it. My name is written on it.
If you look it will say Rolex Oyster, that is me.
