Alternatively, let us imagine that you leave the tiles scattered about
at random on the table after a game of Scrabble. When you return, you see
that the tiles now spell out the words: "I have won," and you immediately
realize that someone has arranged them in a meaningful sequence. You
would never imagine that they had come together by chance and formed
those words, in just the same way that you would never imagine the
name the flowers spelt out had appeared by chance. In short, if
there is a design directed to a particular end
somewhere, then you know that there must
definitely be a designer behind it. You may not have
seen the designer, yet you can be certain of his
existence and intention from his work or the traces
he leaves behind him.
The main idea we would like to convey with these
examples is this: If there is even the slightest sign of
something planned somewhere, there certainly lie
the traces of a possessor of wisdom. For example,
if you roll white stones down a mountain trillions
of times, you will never see that they come to
spell out the name of a building. If there is a
word or a sentence somewhere, everyone
will agree that that word or sentence must
have been written by someone. Words
without writers, or designs without
designers are quite impossible.

Nobody will have any doubt that the
parts of a watch in the picture were
designed by somebody. The encoding
of the information in DNA is even more
magnificent than the design in a
watch. That being the case, it is a
great lie to claim that that information
came about by chance as the result of
a decision by unconscious atoms.
