He explained that if a person were to stumble across a well-designed watch in the middle of the woods, the complexity of the watch would be evidence that an intelligent designer made the machine. His analogy is an extension of the more formal teleological argument, which simply states that if there is design in nature, that design demands the existence of a designer. The Hebrews writer used the same line of reasoning when he wrote: \u201cFor every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God\u201d (3:4).<\/p><p>Cutting-edge biological research has added some fresh insight to this ancient wisdom. Malcolm Ritter recently reported on work done by Akhilesh Reddy of Cambridge University and Joseph Bass of Northwestern University (2011). Their research, published in\u00a0<em>Nature<\/em>\u00a0centers on the built-in clocks that are housed in the cells of the human body. Ritter wrote, \u201ceven the cells throughout our body have their own 24-hour clocks to coordinate activities at the cellular level. Now new research suggests these internal timepieces may be more complicated than scientists thought\u201d (2011).<\/p><p>How interesting! Our body is filled with trillions of cells that contain complicated clocks. Man-made clocks are complex and effective. If a person found such a device in the middle of the forest, he would be forced to conclude it was intelligently designed. The same is true of the biological clocks found in the body.<\/p><h2>REFERENCE<\/h2><p>Ritter, Malcom (2011), \u201cStudy of Cell \u2018Clocks\u2019 Looks at What Makes Us Tick,\u201d http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/20110126\/ap_on_sc\/us_sci_body_clocks\/print.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Clocks Have a Clockmaker by Kyle Butt, M.Div.
