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:

Arguments against a role for selection in the regression of cave-fish eyes cited the insignificant cost of their development, but we argue that the energetic cost of their maintenance is sufficiently high for eyes to be detrimental in the cave environment.
“Third, the manner of eye degeneration in Astyanax cavefish does not appear to be economical. Instead of undergoing eye loss at a very early stage, the cavefish eye develops to a relatively mature stage prior to the beginning of degeneration, presumably at high energetic cost.

She got all of that one! .lol
Thanks. I’m not sure what a ping list is? Is it a group? Put me one if it is.
Thanks
He can indeed do anything. You chose to believe the literal account of Creation from the Book of Genesis, and you chose to declare that anyone who does not cannot believe in God.
My friend you produced theories...
I know the evolution position. Born and raised with it. Evolution and variation of a kind are to different things. The development of a thing is not an evolutionary product. I believe all Dogs and all species, trees etc.. came from two dogs that were created on day 6. The variety in the gene pool at the beginning was plush and vast. Evolution states that something of one kind become another. The big mistake that abc evolutionist have (not saying that is you) is that they mistake variations of a kind with what evolution truly means.. much like Catholics do with the Immaculate conception.
I..by Faith choose to believe God and His Word about what came first (chicken or the egg)...the chicken.
If He used evolution.. He would have told us. That my come across as a simple minded answer but I choose to believe Almighty God and His Word. Evolution is just a theory and it takes greater faith to believe it then to believe almighty god and His Woed. Check out the DVD link Then you might see it my freind. I have weighed it out and became a Creationist and that doesn’t mean i throw out all nature laws of Science that the creator God created for this tangible realm. I made my choice. (Roman 1:18-32, 1 Cor 1:18-30)
All the best.. Dave
Yes it is, and yes you’re on. Welcome aboard the HMS Creation! Go up to the keyword box in the upper right hand side of FR and type in the word “creation” to see what you’ve been missing :o)
All the best to you and yours—GGG
So, based on this article, youre prepared to assert that God could not have created life with the ability to evolve an eye.
Strawman of course.
Best anwered with:
Is this same God incapable of revealing Himself and telling the truth through Judeo-Christian scripture?
He reveals Himself in His Creation. Man reveals himself in what he claims God thinks.
Notice it’s the evolutionist liberals that squelch debate, hijack the law and use lawsuits to keep the cult of evolution afloat.
If it’s not strawmen, it’s endless endless projections.
Liberals project alot.
You’ll see liberals do virtually anything they can get away with on here...like anyone that disagrees with evolution is part of the Christian taliban.
They post this on 9-11-09 no less.
Liberals are also shameless.
And many of them labor under the delusion that they don’t stick out like sore thumbs here on FR.
What does that have to do w/the human eye or the ability to read? Try again, perhaps you can show that Disney movie? Some of us just don’t have enough Faith to believe in your science cult. You believe in Global Scamming too?

Ahhhhh but what's a few 100 million years! LOL!
The only way we progressed to humans is that the world is not perfect. If it were perfect, the amoeba would have never morphed into anything else.
And if the world were perfect, who would need to buy paper towels for spills?
Well, you have to make the exception of evos understanding of origins and so forth.
There’s simply no room for errors. Let alone getting it all wrong.
that wasn’t the question.
Never is is it? What difference does it matter, you believe and we don’t. Humpty Darwin took a great fall...

Part of your name really fits.
It’s ALL evolution. the only difference is time. Do we have to take a fossil and beat you over the head with it for you to get that simple fact.
As others have said, if they are different, what is teh stop button. Is it like the easy button from Staples??
He reveals Himself in His Creation. Man reveals himself in what he claims God thinks.
You, being man, I assume you will at least acknowledge you’re human, just negated your own argument.
It’s as imperfect as anyone elses’ and everyone has an opinion.
But the question was and remains:
Is this same God incapable of revealing Himself and telling the truth through Judeo-Christian scripture?
(See, we already knew what your opinion was a long long time ago.)
Ask it all you want.
