That doesn't really hold up... order in the universe is not evidence of a guiding hand, or original engineer. It's just the weak anthropic principle. The reason the universe has order, and obeys the intricate laws of physics we observe is that if it were any other way, we would not exist. If you look at this as one of many universes, then we are in this one because it is the one capable of creating us.
As for the book, it sounds like a dry explanation of rational atheism. Most folks I know settled up on that one way or another before graduating high school.

I use it whenever I don't have a case handy. Only problem is ventilation on those air tight burp-seal tops.
