The moon activities impacted my learning in that I was more…

is solely based on an analogy of a watch. This is that the universe as a whole is complex and there must be an intelligent designer responsible for designing the universe. Just like the watch, the parts come together to fulfill a purpose, and if we have never seen a watch before the complexity or the way the watch was designed would make us conclude that it was made by an intelligent designer. This analogy is used to compare the universe to the watch. In addition, he mentions that “it is not…
