"In reality, you have probably noticed that everything around you has been designed by an intelligent designer (cars, houses, bridges, watches, etc)...life and this universe we live in, is so much more complex than those things...only an Intelligent Designer (God) could have created it."
These thing have all evolved as well, evolution does not only work on an organic level but also on an "information" level where information is accumulated via new ideas, testing existing theories and melding them together which refines our knowledge giving way to newer ideas and greater understanding.
For example the watch... Someone had to invent the metals, the wheel, the cog, the spring, etc. When all these things were invented the first clocks could be built. It was many years of continual refinement before a simple watch could be built. I do not see how a complex watch can can be sighn of creation rather a glaringly obvious example of evolution! The same is true of all the examples you give.

Hang on one sec!!!!
I said nothing about explaining biological evolution, I simply put sonnikkes (your) statement into perspective in regards to the development of technology.
"Also, like the watch, ALL the components were DESIGNED, they didn't just magically make themselves from star dust and then adhere and interlock with each other to form a watch by unbelievable odds. A designer or designers, were involved in your information scenario. We can't escape the reality that time, chance and natural accidents cannot create what only a Supreme God CAN!!"
No the components didnt just magically make themselves, components were developed one step at a time buy people... or are you saying that everything we create the idea is given to us by "God". If this is the case, this would mean that Darwins ideas were implanted by "God"... I realy cant see what role "God" played in making a complex watch, and the notion that he did realy undermines the whole idea of "Free thought"!
Your thoughts on this are?
