Your analogy between a manufactured watch, which is formed by humans, and
evolution, which occurs as a result of natural processes, creates an absurd
argument.
You must ahve found this argument on the pavement where people had been
stomping on it for an afternoon or two. In order to retrieve it, and make
sense of it, you must have then used a staff of underpaid archaeologist
assistants to trace the seams of it and reconstruct it from the notion
that it had once been kept in that paper bag brain of yours, but had
somehow eaten through, only to slip out on your way to the "think happy
thoughts" group therapy sessions that you regularly attend.
Get a clue: the therapy isn't working.
