Don't get me wrong, this is not my argument. The argument itself is a complete and utter cockfest of incorrectness. There are many ways you can rip it to shreds, but the easiest one is that the argument was written a long time ago, before science knew about natural selection. The chance of human beings appearing out of nowhere is next to nothing, but the chance significantly increases when you take natural selection into account.

Not to mention humans are NOT like watches. Well they are, but analogical arguments are usually crap because anything is like anything. A mushroom is like a chair, a mushroom is in fact incredibly similar to a chair. There are trillions upon trillions of things that are less like a chair than a mushroom and vice versa. They both are on the planet earth. They are both made of atoms. They are both solid. etc etc. So a pocket watch is like a human, yeah, but that has nothing to do with anything at all.
