yes, of course it can invent an eye, IT HAS TOO, and of course, you can take drawings and lay then in an order to fool folks into believing a light sensitive cell (THAT APPARENTLY JUST POPPED INTO EXISTANCE AS WELL) turned step by step into an eye...
because it, HAS TO, THE RELIGION REQUIRES IT....
Handwaving at its finest.
