Complex Eyes of ‘Simple’ Clams Confound Darwin

May 13, 2019 | Jerry Bergman

by Jerry Bergman, PhD

Darwin is famous for admitting that the origin of complex structures made him sick: In The Origin of Species, we read:

“To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”[1]

1. It’s darker where they live.
2. We’re at the top of the food chain and er, Red Lobster.

Do you realize how many people have forgotten, or never even knew that “CLAMS GOT LEGS”?

“Why is the universe and Earth in particular so finely tuned”?

Because GOD is the mechanic!

why do we have only two eyes, two arms and two legs?

More than two and we would be too damn confused to be able to function........

Actually, your dog cannot make Vitamin C. His ability to make or do anything was coded, or designed into his DNA.
Please explain, Mr. Darwin, how inanimate matter, step by step, “created” an ear. The entire TOE is preposterous.

Dogs, however, can produce vitamin C in their bodies,
and because of this ability, nutritionists have long considered
it unnecessary to add C to a dog's diet.


Get back to me when you've caught up. LOL

Actually, it is YOU who failed to get MY point. What our bodies can and cannot make is not within our control. It has been predetermined.
I notice that you have ignored my challenge re the ear. You and I both know that the complexity of hearing makes evolution of such impossible. I acknowledge that fact, but you can’t go there, b/c you realize that to do so would be to admit that you’ve been duped by pabulum.

Baloney. I’ve never seen such a tangled
mess outside a plate of spaghetti. Take
the last word. My patience with you is done.

As Gomer Pyle would say, “Surprise surprise!” A Darwinist running for the tall grass when presented with logic is truly a shock.

first of all, scallops are not clams. Scaoolps and clams are bivalves but not the same

Scallops live in open water. They see and then flee predators

Clams burrow
