"But supposing I had found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place; I should hardly think of the answer which I had before given, that for any thing I knew, the watch might have always been there. Yet why should not this answer serve for the watch as well as for the stone? Why is it not as admissible in the second case, as in the first?" I see nothing in the passage above that even hints at a devine design.... But depending on the beliefs of the observer, he may see design in everything....I think most religious people feel that way, at least the most extreme....e.g. I had a door to door Jehovah Witness tell me he thought he was looking at "God's artwork" when gazing at the cliffs of the Hudson River.... Gingerich is not unusual as a scientist in believing in a god......the question is, does he believe in a personal god? Einstein believed in some higher power, but not in a personal god...
