I am free to express myself, and I do so, frequently and loudly. It's easy to be brave when there is nothing to be afraid of.
According to evolutionists, the eye has evolved to the pinnacle at which we now find it. Yet, the trilobite, an index fossil that evolutionists claim is 450 million years old, possessed an even more complex eye (with a dual lens system) than anything seen in nature today. And even the evolutionists know this to be true. Writing in Science News, Lisa Shawver wrote that trilobites possessed “the most sophisticated eye lenses ever produced by nature” (1974, 105:72, emp. added). Indeed they did! Trilobites possessed a lens system known in ophthalmology as an “optical doublet.” But in order to make such a lens system function properly, it is necessary to have what is known as a “refracting interface” between the two lenses. And that is exactly what the trilobites—which evolutionists believe is one of the first living things on the Earth, and which is an index fossil for the Cambrian period)—do indeed possess
The double-lensed schizochroal eyes you cite did not appear in the Cambrian, but in the Ordovician, long after first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record. McIntosh, who makes himself an arbiter of what 'every thinking person' knows, has his facts wrong. Trilobite eyes in the Cambrian were holochroal.
Another error in what you posted. Evolutionists certainly do not believe trilobites were on of the first living things on earth. The first life on earth is currently dated at 3.8 By before present; trilobites appeared circa 450 million years before present.
As I wrote; nonsense, or nothing at all.
Justifiably amazed?” What an understatement! Darwin once said that it made him turn “cold” to think of something as complex as an eye evolving.
Did you read the Dawkins article? How many times has this particular piece of quote mining been debunked? How many times has it been reposted?
You think those scientists are creationists?
McIntosh is.
I have no idea what context he was speaking in. He said "one of the first living things." Maybe he was talking about the first multicellular organisms. At any rate, you seem to want to ignore the fact that the eyes were very complex early-on:
==========================
We can be justifiably amazed that these trilobites, very early in the history of life on Earth, hit upon the best possible lens design that optical physics has ever been able to formulate.
