Voltaire wrote: “I cannot dream that this watch exists and has no watchmaker.” All around us we see marvels of inventions and design that have resulted from numerous hours of thought, planning, design and work by a designer. We would never think that a watch we find lying on the ground just appeared. We would try to find its owner because we know that it had to have been made by a watchmaker for somebody. We do not question this.
Living creatures are far more complicated than a watch. Yet some do dream that life exists without a life-maker. Some manage to dream what Voltaire could not imagine—a watch without a watchmaker. God says that man is without excuse when it comes to having knowledge to prove God’s existence (Romans 1:20-21). When we study the evidence, we can be sure we won’t fall for the thoughts that we do not have our own watchmaker.
