*sigh* You can’t possibly be that dense, can you?

It’s not a riddle.

It is a serious question. Why would a critter living before there was any light have eyes?

I am not trying to be rude but i don,t know what the hell you are talking about.

In the total nonexistence of light eyes are a major liability, easily injured, easily infected, and a straight path to the brain for any number of parasites and pathogens.

In the total nonexistence of light a Cro-Magnon wouldn’t even know to blink to keep sand out.

Do try to think through the implications of what you assert, it’s much more intellectually honest than having to pretend to ridicule a serious point when someone points out an obvious non sequitur.

I ask again, if light had never existed, why would eyes exist?

It may not be a riddle to you but it is to me because i never asserted no such thing, i have not said any thing about any creature having eyes before there was light.

I would like to think that you really can do better than to dismiss the question.

Maybe you are just so much more intelligent than i am that i can not understand your question, maybe you could make this ignorant country boy understand by showing me the exact words of my comment that you are referring to.

Unless you can’t, In which case please do feel free to mock the question and/or ignore it.

I will try not to mock the question if i think you are really serious and as you can see i am not ignoring it
but as i said i don,t know what you are talking about.

It may not be a riddle to you but it is to me because i never asserted no such thing, i have not said any thing about any creature having eyes before there was light.

I refer you back to your post #106 where you said:

the Cro Magnons who got here at some point before there was even light on the planet,

If you misspoke and that wasn't your intent to say that Cro Magnons where around before there was light, then I apologize for my snarky response, I was responding to what I read, not what you intended (what did you intend?)

Fingers getting ahead of brain is something that's happened to all of us. No harm, no foul.
