BTW, Paley's "watch on the beach" depends on the analogy that living things and artifacts share certain characteristics that differentiate them from the surrounding environment which has been shaped by merely physical, purposeless processes. Therefore, the argument is actually saying that while Life may be the product of a Creator, the Universe at large isn't.
