"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 formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."The quote is in context, just as stated, that the premise proposed is absurd.

What, you're saying that Darwin said that the notion of an eye evolving is "absurd"? If so, then you're either fundamentally ignorant of what Darwin thought because you lack the ability to comprehend his full statement (beyond what you just quoted) or you're completely and totally dishonest and hoping that no one else looks up the full context of Darwin's quote to see that in the following sentence he explains exactly why it is not "absurd" after all.
