From the article by Bergman:

” A new study found this arrangement was not poor design, but rather ingenious design. The scallop pupils can dilate and contract, changing the size of the pupil opening by about 50 percent. Their eyes lack irises like human eyes. Instead, the cornea cells change shape from thin and flat to tall and long. These contractions also change the cornea’s curvature, indicating the scallop eye changes shape to respond to light to form more crisper images on the proximal retina.”

Nobody had to design it. It naturally arises in the conditions in which life existed/exists.

Eyes as a light sensing organ arise quickly (maybe tens of thousands of generations) with even small amounts of selection for light sensitivity.

Quite readily replicated in generative network simulations.

All that said, the real question is how did the conditions get there? Why is the universe and earth in particular so finely tuned?

What a fabulous site. As a scientist I am so persuaded by ridicule. It is really convincing - just clinches the argument.

Do all you idiots fall for this junk? And no, I don't care waht you think about the theory of evolution. Believe it or don't believe it for all I care, but don't call yourselves conservative if you think this mode of argumentation is valid.
