How to evolve a watch

watch evolutionHere is an interesting video that demonstrates a thought and modeling experiment on how to evolve a watch.

This is a fascinating video which shows that, Paley's hoary old argument notwithstanding, a fully functioning watch could evolve - if there were a population of watches subject to mutation and natural selection.

Obviously it's just a thought experiment, but it convincingly demolishes the cretinist dogma that complexity is prima facie proof that goddidit.
