The following is by Dr. David N. Menton, Ph.D. It is copyrighted 1994 by Missouri Association for Creation --
The human brain consists of approximately 12 billion cells, forming 120 trillion interconnections. The light sensitive retina of the eye (which is really part of the brain) contains over 10 million photoreceptor cells. These cells capture the light pattern formed by the lens and convert it into complex electrical signals, which are then sent to a special area of the brain where they are transformed into the sensation we call vision.
In an article in "Byte" magazine (April 1985), John Stevens compares the signal processing ability of the cells in the retina with that of the most sophisticated computer designed by man, the Cray supercomputer:
"While today's digital hardware is extremely impressive, it is clear that the human retina's real-time performance goes unchallenged. Actually, to simulate 10 milliseconds (one hundredth of a second) of the complete processing of even a single nerve cell from the retina would require the solution of about 500 simultaneous nonlinear differential equations 100 times and would take at least several minutes of processing time on a Cray supercomputer.

My retina specialist claims 1.5 million nerves between each eye and the brain. He also says that the eye is very much a part of the brain.
Clearly an example of intelligent design.
Of course their technology couldn’t keep up. Human craftsmanship cannot compete with the craftsmanship of god.
of course evolutionism produced the eye, BECAUSE IT HAD TO.....the lame ‘light senstive spot’ is the usual starting point for the just-so story...etc....
Just imagine the intelligence that went into making the designer!
Hey hater... why does it bother you...? That is not the case at all. This is an open forum. We love to hear the different response to the topics we put out and we get alot... Your not against debate are you?? You’re free to by pass this if you don’t like it... also you can go back to the Moveon.org web site that it would seem that you must be apart of in light of your position and comment.
Free speech and debate is alive and well on Free Republic my friend... Obama hasn’t removed it yet... not without a fight!!!
God Bless the USA and the Free Republic web site!!
Sha-zam!!! Glory to Almighty God! Would you not say my friend?
What are my choices again?
“Can Evolution Produce An Eye!”
Yes!
And it is not only the eye. The immune system--the skeletal system--reproduction--every part of the human body is as miraculous as the eye. And not just the human body--animals--plants--the stars--subatomic particles-- There is no end to the wonders and the miracles.
I am a physician. I came to the same conclusion. Such miracles could not possibly happen by chance.
However, it is equally absurd to disregard the theory of evolution.
These two concepts are not mutually exclusive. Any conflict between them is merely a reflection of mankinds inability to comprehend the Mind of God.
Is your faith so weak that you have to choose?
Biblical creation.
The Book of Genesis explains it all.
Your a man of Great faith... my friend... in time, chance and death and zillions of years... free will does not alway place its trust in reality.. be objective about the claims of creation. I believe you will be quite surprised!
All the best!
sweet pic.. simple... but yet mind blowing!
