Here is a reproducible experiment for all you evolutionist.
Take all the raw material down to the atomic level that would be found in a mechanical pocket watch. Put it into a box, apply heat and pressure and shake it up all the time you are doing it. How long till a pocket watch will appear?

What brand of pocket watch? What if the original watch was a Rolex and the molecules somehow assembled into a Timex? What if the hands on the watch were reversed? What if... hehehe, this is fun.
Furthermore, you can take your strawman and shove it up your ass.
"How long till a pocket watch will appear?"
The current thinking is, I believe, around 14.5 billion years, give or take a couple hun. Like Quantum Mechanic said.

Let me know when wrist watches start reproducing, and then we'll resume this conversation.

Here is a reproducible experiment for all you creationists.
Make two watches, one men's, one women's, and put them in a beautiful tropical garden. Next tell them there is one tree in the garden they are not to eat from, taking extra special care to point it out so there's no confusion.
Q1. How long until one or other watch eats the forbidden fruit and precipitates the fall?
Q2. How long before creationists recognise that you can't just substitute in a watch for any complicated thing and expect the same processes to occur?
And here's an experiment for you, wankerscout:
Find the shard of the Allspark, go to the National Air and Space Museum (the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Centre; part of the Smithsonian Institute), find the Lockheed SR-71 there (it's the big, black plane; you can't miss it) and touch it with said shard.
How long till that SR-71 transforms into the ex-Decepticon Jetfire? [/nerd] [/smartarse]
'Bollocks!'

"Here's a fun fact: Metals are NOT organic molecules."
What about the eponymous submarine in the TV series "SeaQuest DSV"? ~_^ [/nerd II] [/smartarse II]
Watchmaker analogy. Descent with modification and natural selection is not random material shuffling. Deceptive straw man of evolution to deny knowledge and science in favor of a modern human interpretation of ancient human mythology, itself ignorant about the natural world. Since the argument is to claim that an ancient human god did it, it's also apparently a god of ignorance.
Awesome parody by David B. The straw man presents a false equivalence of biology, but David's version presents a true equivalence of the proposed straw man.
“Here is a reproducible experiment for all you evolutionist.”
With big gaping holes where the details should be, i see.
“Take all the raw material down to the atomic level that would be found in a mechanical pocket watch.”
Okay. I pick up a pocket watch. That has everything you’d find in a pocket watch, right? Down to the molecular level. I’ll unscrew the chain. Now it’s no longer a COMPLETE pocket watch.
“Put it into a box, apply heat and pressure and shake it up all the time you are doing it.”
I put the (two) parts of the watch in a Tupperware food saver.
I shake it as i close the lid.
You have no instructions for how MUCH pressure or heat to what temperature. What is the point of that part of the instructions?
"How long till a pocket watch will appear?”
Until i get around to opening the saver.
Did you mean to ask a different question?
Did you imagine different parameters? You should have stated so.
So. I shook the pieces of a watch and i got (most of) a watch, just like you’ve predicted. What does that prove?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
