Document Summary

Although we do not see the watchmaker create the watch, we believe that there was a creator who worked to make the watch. Without seeing or knowing the watchmaker, we have no doubts that a watchmaker created the watch. Unlike with religion, although it is similar to a watch and a watchmaker, people become doubtful when asked about an ultimate reality who may have created us. They reason that because they cannot see an ultimate. In this story, individuals can be compared to the watch. They do not just come to exist, but first have to be created. An ultimate reality can be compared to the watchmaker. They are thought of as the creators of something smaller than themselves. The difference between them is that one is assumed to be there (the watchmaker) and one is doubted to be real (an ultimate reality).
