The light sensitive patch of skin!

Yes, which a number of organisms currently possess.

And the light sensitive patch was what before it was a light sensitive patch of skin?

A non-light sensitive patch of skin. The thing is, a single mutation can trigger light sensitivity.

No need for eye sockets before you have eyes

Correct. Light-sensing apparati evolved before eye sockets.

Then we move any to the very intricate human cell that could not function if any of it's too numerous components were absent, waiting for the mutating opportunity.

You're still not understanding the basic mechanism of evolution. Eye evolution is pretty straightforward, once you understand that nobody's suggesting that the eye evolved instantaneously. I presented a perfectly plausible incremental framework and you're still pretending that us silly evil-utionists think that -- zap -- the eye evolved overnight. Keep your strawmen to yourself.

I'm not "pretending" anything. And I would never tell you what to say or what not say. It would be unreasonable for me to imagine something as intricate and complicated as the human eye could just happenstancely come into being through mutations. I'd have to see the evolutionary drawing on that one. Like the cartoon that shows the monkey to the becoming a man.

I try keep an open mind about things that are yet to be proven.

The question that comes to my mind is how would the light taken in by the "light sensitive patches of skin" penetrate through a skull with no openings, eye sockets.

A thought! possibly non-vertbrae animals, such as earthworms would be sensive to light, my flashlight when I'm looking for bait! But an earthworm and I most definately do not share any ancestors, cousins nor in-laws.

you know, it's all just such a far stretch of little reason and a whole lot of faith to believe in evolution.
