Yes it was ‘Evolution’, the God of all adnostics and athiests. How convenient!
That evolution guy is pretty smart, eh?
Interesting debate.
The most intriguing question to me is: how did life begin?
I know what I believe.
As always interesting.
The author has shaky premises. To wit: to wiring which leads to a retinal blind spot “can be described as one of evolution’s “greatest mistakes””.
No. “Mistakes” die. The fit survive.
Evolution naturally selects (pun intended) those adequate, viable and superior shifts in the genome which generate a superior physical structure (i.e., a better eye) because those shifts/mutations (call them what you will) permit more individuals with that altered genome to live, thrive and reproduce.
Just as the Creator envisioned.
Wiring on the outside ~ ? That’s a touch screen!
Not only did “evolution” come up with the most ingenious idea of a lens focusing by changing its shape rather than moving it along the focal plane as in cameras, this amazing inventor “evolution” also wired it perfectly to the most complex computer know to man, the brain, to process an immense quantity of visual information at an astonishing speed. All this of course happened by trial and error and “natural selection”.
These moron scientists will never admit that some things are beyond their ability to understand.
With respect to complexity the eye is nothing compared to the DNA molecule, and nothing to date can explain its existence short of Divine Intervention. Oh wait, I forgot, Aliens put it here.
So, before the eye was “evolving” everything was stumbling around, blind? And isn’t amazing that the eyes “evolved” differently with each animal/creature that needed to see.
That Evolution is one smart cookie, that’s for sure.
Lust also invented itself to accompany sex so it wouldn`t be lonely.
As The Great Evolutionist Tina Turner once stated:
"What`s Love Got to do With It?"
oops Forgot- Love invented itself, too.
We are praying for this nation, and lately, I have been praying God would speak to these people in a manner they can understand--"Please, Lord, take 'em down."
vaudine
Silly argument, whatever position one takes on creation vs. evolution, unless one happens to be a True Believer in [whichever]. Right along with:
Of course, findings that coincide with the claims of [the other side] do not mean they have a point
"Well of course not. Because we're right and they aren't."
THAT is amazing. An amazing design. By an amazing God.
Tracing the gradual development of the stupendously complex eye of the trilobite through its evolutionary predecessors is tremendously fascinating.
Are we to believe that God would behave the way that people who don’t believe in Him say He would? That’s just silly.
These scientists. They should go back and read Chapter 6 of On the Origin of Species by Darwin, entitled “Limitations of Theory.” He states right there that the complexities of the eye are enough to break the theory of evolution. But, I’m sure some evo will pounce all over me (like they always do) claiming Darwin didn’t mean what he said. Whatever.
One fine day believers will never again be vexed by these antichrist people claiming to tell us how the universe was really made. They will be in torment and we will be with the God who made everything!
The most amazing thing of all is - without a sensing ability to interpret light waves, there is nothing to see. And without a sensing ability to interpret sound waves, there is nothing to hear.
In a bizarre twist, we are not there to see OR hear. Only by curiously developed functions do we have presence.
Which begs the question...
...do we really exist?
