What if you find a watch

I read a beautiful article...It goes like this:

Suppose you find a watch in the middle of a desert. What would you conclude? Would you think

that someone dropped the watch? Or would you suppose that the watch came by itself?

Of course no sane person would say that the

watch just happened to emerge from the

sand. All the intricate working parts could

not simply develop from the metals the lay buried

in the earth. The watch must have a manufacturer.

If a watch tells accurate time we expect the manufacturer

must be intelligent. Blind chance cannot

produce a working watch.

But what else tells accurate time? Consider the sunrise and sunset.

Their timings are so strictlyregulated that scientists can publish in advance the sunrise and sunset times in your daily newspapers. But who regulates the timings of sunrise and sunset? If a watch cannot work without an intelligent maker, how can the sun appear to rise and set with such clockwork regularity? Could this occur by itself?

Consider also that we benefit from the sun only because it remains at a safe distance from the
earth, a distance that averages 93 million miles. If it got much closer the earth would burn up.
And if it got too far away the earth would turn into an icy planet making human life here impossible.

Who decided in advance that this was the right distance? Could it just happen by chance?
Without the sun plants would not grow. Then animals and humans would starve. Did the sun just
decide to be there for us? The rays of the sun would be dangerous for us had it not been for the
protective ozone layer in our atmosphere. The atmosphere around earth keeps the harmful ultraviolet rays from reaching us. Who was it that placed this shield around us?

We need to experience sunrise. We need the sun’s energy and its light to see our way during the
day. But we also need sunset. We need a break from the heat, we need the cool of night and we
need the lights to out so we may sleep. Who regulated this process to provide what we need?

Moreover, if we had only the sun and the protection of the atmosphere we would want something more-beauty. Our clothes provide warmth and protection, yet we design them to also look beautiful.Knowing our need for beauty, the designer of sunrise and sunset also made the view of them to be simply breathtaking.

The creator who gave us light, energy, protection and beauty deserves our thanks. Yet some people insist that he does not exist. What would they think if they found a watch in the desert?

An accurate, working watch? A beautifully designed watch? Would they not conclude that there does exist a watchmaker? An intelligent watchmaker? One who appreciates beauty? Such is God who made us.
