No blind watchmaker here.

Even if I don't accept it, I can understand the reasoning behind the finding-a-watch-on-the-beach argument for the existence of God. Even with wars, famine, disease and who knows whatever else that suggests that either he or she hasn't been keeping up his or her work, or doesn't have the omniscience we might wish, it's easy to get the feeling that there's order or purpose to our small corner of the universe.

But I doubt that, on the outside chance that somebody were walking along the beach on a desert island and stumbled upon the internet, that person would be able to exclaim "this is the product of a guiding hand, this denotes a purpose". Frankly, it's a mess. And very often, that's precisely what's so great about it.
