Have you ever heard the Watchmaker argument? Basically it goes like this: if you were walking along the beach and you found an intricate pocket watch, you wouldn’t assume it had just been formed randomly out of waves and sand or whatever, you’d know that a person had to have designed it. When you look around at the world it looks pretty complicated too, so someone must have designed that as well.
It’s a kind of philosophical argument that can lead to endless debate, but the reason I bring it up here is that while scrolling the cursed images on @uglydesign on Instagram, I see things that clearly had to have been designed by humans, and yet are so baffling that it’s more tempting to believing they WERE some kind of accident?
I don’t know. Scroll on, you’ll see what I mean.
