Cleaned up analogy section; this article looks good now. Actually fairly non-biased

One of the first major books with evidence for intelligent design was [[Michael J. Behe]]'s.  Behe is a Professor of Biochemistry at Lehigh University.  He alleges in "Darwin's Black Box" [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684834936/thetalkorigin-20/] that there are certain ''irreducible complexities'' which can only be addressed by an intelligent designer.

Many Intelligent Design advocates propose the "watch" analogy.  Imagine you are walking along a beach, and you suddenly encounter a wrist-watch.  Given its relative sophistication vis-a-vis its environment, and the obvious non-random care with which it was made, does the wrist-watch pre-suppose an Intelligent Designer?  Evolutionary thinkers would have us believe that humans (the wrist-watch) just evolved there, on the beach, whereas Intelligent Design advocates properly realize that the watch (us, ourselves) was simply created, by God.
