The Physico-theological Argument
In the first statement (if I remember correctly) you made an analogy between things we know that were created by man (like a clock) to any complex thing, that just as complex things we know were created by an intelligent designer, so too are more complex things like the universe. Although when the question was asked why God himself was not created by an intelligent designer, you claimed that this analogy only applies to things in our experience, and for things outside our experience it is not correct to say that complex things need an explanation. I didn’t really understand what the explanation was in this division, why did the analogy only apply to things in our experience?

Yes, but that's what I'm asking about. Obviously, some being has to end the chain, but why assume that it's more logical that the being that's not in our experience is the one that wasn't created? Maybe there are also beings in our experience that weren't created? After all, the analogy isn't about all the things in our experience, but only beings that were created by man. Maybe it's likely that complex beings that are in our experience but weren't created by man are the ones that started the chain?
Because what our experience tells us is that they are created beings. Even those who were not created by man were created.
