Evaluate the claim that evidence of design leads to theism.

Explain the claim, then evaluate: Evidence of design in the world such as the complexity of the human eye, or the Fibonacci sequence displayed in nautilus shells.This complexity and intelligence observable in the world is so intricate that it would have to require an intelligent creator to make it.The theistic model of God is intelligent, all-powerful and benevolent. Therefore, not only would God be able to create this, but he would want to create complex and beautiful things for humans as he is a loving and personal God.This differentiates Him from the answer of merely a deistic impersonal God.
