I very doubt this true.

Read Hume Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. You can also take a basic philosophy course which will list the numerous objections to the argument

This poll don't deny the fact that most of world population are theists.

So what? The world being most theists does not make their belief true. This is nothing but an ad populum argument.

atheist are very minority.

Being in the minority does not mean we are wrong by default. This is merely the reverse of the above fallacy in that a minority view is wrong for being a minority view.

I speak about belief in Creator, most of world believe in.
Shad specifically said the watchmaker argument has been refuted.

Most of the world used to believe the world was flat.
That tomatoes were poisonous
if a horse hair was left in a barrel of water outside it would turn into a worm.

"most of world believes" is not evidence.

We are talking about concept of Creating/Creator !

Apparently not.
Given the analogy that both have to have a creator when it has not been shown outside wishful thinking that humans require a creator.

"There is nothing created by it self" it's very simple idea,but you seems don't get it :)

We disagree over the terms used as it can be easily used as a watchmaker analogy in a bait and switch. Which is probably already has been in this thread (speculation). We speculate where this argument is heading as we are familiar with typical setups for the analogy and the OP is just this type of setup.

Your own post shows that you follow the premises of the analogy or argument in comparing things that are known to have a creator/designer then inferring this means there must be a single creator for everything. This argument has been refuted centuries ago.

Nope, it shows my own belief only, and saying things being refuted does not necessarily mean it is indeed refuted. It's just someone else's belief, in comparison ;)

They believes it's true, why they should convinced others by?

Based on observations of a sampling of things but not every thing in the universe thus is a inductive conclusion thus you can not say "nothing" unless you have discovered everything. Your point is moot as your logic is flawed.

Do I need to explain the different between inductive and deductive reasoning?

Have we discovered everything in the universe?

Objection which refuted points shows that the argument has been refuted as it points out error in the logic of the argument not merely a belief. Logic is method not a belief.
