When we see a beautiful watch, we know that somebody designed it.

When we behold this beautiful world, many people conclude that there must be an all-powerful God who designed it.

If there is a design, there must be a designer. Philosophers call that the “Argument from Design.”

Wisdom 13:1. For truly all men who had no perception of God were vain by nature, and didn’t gain power to know him who exists from the good things that are seen. They didn’t recognize the architect from his works.

Sirach 43:1. The pride of the height is the firmament in its clearness, The appearance of heaven, in the spectacle of its glory.

Romans 1:20. For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.
