From Stephen Hawkins I think
The Evidence is Very Simple
Just look around you and you will find the evidence everywhere. It is around you, within you, above you, below you, and even right there next to you. You say this is not evidence! If I showed you the simpliest man-made object, would you not immediately know it was made by man--an intelligent creature? So then, how is it that you do not recognize that objects, far more complicated than man can create, were created by God? If I showed you a robot, would you not know it was created by man? Then why is it that if I show you a human being, a far more complicated object than a robot, you do not know it was created by God? And why is it that man's inventions have resulted from a process of "evolution" guided by man's intellect but God could not have used this same "evolutionary" process in creating his inventions? If man can guide the "evolutionary process" from Thomas Edison's first primitive phonograph to today's DVD's, then why could God not have guided the "evolutionary process" from carbon to man? If I showed you a DVD player, you would reject , as nonsense, the notion that it was created by chance without the intervention of man, so why, then, do you not reject the notion that man, a far more sophisticated invention, was created by chance without the intervention of God?
You need no more evidence than seeing an invention created by man to know it was created by man, so why then do you need more evidence than seeing an invention created by God to know it was created by Him? If a simple DVD player could not have been created without the intervention of an intelligent being, then what makes you think a human could have been created without the intervention of an intelligent being? Since the nature of a simple DVD player is suficient evidence to prove the existence of an intelligent being, then why is the nature of a human being not sufficient evidence to prove the existence of a being of superior intelligence and ability?
