or a piece of art
AY
Leader (7 minutes):
“Look at this watch (or artwork). We all know someone made it — it’s too
detailed, too intentional to appear by chance.
Now look at galaxies, flowers, your fingerprints,
and DNA — all far more complex than anything humans create.

- Leaf samples, magnifying
glasses
