Argument from analogy

Analogical reasoning is one of the most common methods by which human beings try to understand the world and make decisions.The logic behind the watchmaker argument states that you cannot assume that a complex and precise object like a watch was created through some random process.[1] Creating a "counteranalogy," Hume argued that some natural objects seem to have order and complexity — snowflakes for example — but are not the result of intelligent direction.According to Mill, sharing parents is not at all relevant to the property of laziness (although this in particular is an example of a faulty generalisation rather than a false analogy).Ben Kling gave the example of analogy blindness in the case of comparison between a volcano and a geyser.
