Explain and evaluate william paley's version of the design argument. does the argument provide a rational basis for belief in some sort of creative intelligence behind the universe and life?

William Parley argues that the order in the universe is evidence of the idea of a designer who is God. He uses the analogy of a watch to argue for the existence of a higher being who is behind the structure of the universe. The various parts of the universe work intractably to achieve order just like the parts of the watch. The emergent order in the universe can therefore be though as evidence that some sort of creative intelligence is behind the universe
