The classic example of the irreducible complexity is the human eye. An eye is of no use unless all its parts are fully formed and working together. Even a slight alteration from its current form destroys its function. How then could the eye evolve by slight alterations? Even on Darwin's day the complexity of the eye was offered as evidence against his theory, and Darwin said the mere thought of trying to explain the eye gave him "a cold shudder".

Stupid "Eye" argument alert!

VERY UNTRUE. But you have heard all the arguments against you so no need to repeat them.

Everyone, including you knows that plants that are sensitive to light turn toward the light and shutdown respiration come night.

Wrong. Lot's of people get along without color vision. That is a loss of a major function and area of the eye. Even those that can only see shadows use that information. This is akin to the early creatures that only saw "light and dark". It was an advantage over creatures that could not.
