The argument from design is very simple but powerful!  This argument is something like the cause and effect argument, but different enough to warrant consideration on its own.  Just as cause and effect argues that, "Every house is built by someone" (Heb 3:4), we can also argue from the design of a house that there must have been a designer.  We could argue that every created thing is designed.  Even the elements of a rock were created--designed so that that rock would possess just those qualities.  However, consider the design of some things about which tHere can be "no intelligent dispute" because some evolutionary atheists will argue against anything showing intelligent purposeful design.

We live in a universe that is billions of light years from side to side (or whatever point you choose to measure from.) Scientists compute that light travels at 186, 291 miles per second.   There are 3,153,600 seconds in a year.  A "light year" is the distance that light travels at 186, 291 miles per second times 3,153,600 seconds---something I cannot compute on my little handheld calculator.  Then you have to take a number in the billions (choose your own number for no one really knows how huge the number should be) and multiply it times the previous number of miles in a light year. Out of all the heavenly bodies we know about in the Universe we know of life only on the planet Earth.  Evolutionists say it is pure chance that life developed on Earth.  Believers in God say, "No , life on this earth is a case of intelligent purposeful design by the Great Designer, Almighty God."

Suppose you were walking along and found a watch on the sidewalk.  It is a working watch with a second hand, and day of the month window.  Would you , could you, in your wildest moment of imagination believe that that watch just happened to come into existence by pure chance? You know better!  The watch shows evidence of intelligent design that requires a designer.  Most of the material in the Universe is much more complex than a watch.  How can anyone deny that it is by a Designer?
