Well, it's the "design argument", the evidence lies in the fact that we can conclude a Designer was behind the visible attributes we see around us.

I'm sure you can show me this conclusive evidence without using analogies...

We have no problem realizing that cars, houses, watches, airplanes, etc etc, all have an intelligent designer behind them. How do we scientifically prove that? We can't see the designer, we don't know who they are...

Take any airplane, car, house etc, and you'll be able to learn of every designer involved. You could get their name, see their picture, shake their hand (unless they're dead of course).

...those things did not arrange themselves from 1000's of individual parts, into an organized, specialized, and fully functioning machine, as it were, without careful planning, design, function, and intelligence behind it.

And there's the analogy.

Reading your post about the Wollemi Nobilis, I took a look around on the net and found this article taken from The New Scientist:

The pine seems like a wonderful discovery, but certainly nothing supernatural. A 'living fossil' seems to be a description used by many.
