Paley's God Paley's analogy with the designer of clocks and fine-tuning is to compare him to God as the designer of the universe due to its complexity. However, it can be argued that this analogy is wrong because the complexity is in favor of God's plan, but by chance. Basically, the watchmaker's argument says that because something is complex it must have been designed because all the other things we see that are complex are designed. It also has tensions in the argument, depending on who you're talking to you have a very specific addition, which is that the complexity seems to show purpose. In other words, to augment Paley's argument, you should not just look at the watch you found on the beach as you said it looks extremely complex and also there must be a designer but you would have considered the complexity and from this complexity we deduce that the The clock was intended to tell the time. So, which was designed for that particular purpose so that you can tell the time. One more point, the setup argument is an extension that basically says what if the condition was incorrect,...
