Watchmaker

   

A watchmaker is a builder of watches.

William Paley used the watch to infer argument from design for the existence of God; hence God is the watchmaker. Later Richard Dawkins would use this analogy in his book The Blind Watchmaker; evolution the source of origins is blind in that it cannot look forward.
