I don't think so. IIRC the watchmaker argument (if that's what you mean) is
faulty. Firstly it needs you to recognise that a watch is an artefact. Secondly
it was created to support a position (God must exist). I could go on but people
better than I have taken it to bits, like an old watch.
Even if it were true why should such a god be worshiped or even honoured?
