Fine. Have yours removed. Our eyes are made for our environment. Degeneration is a result of the fall. I recently read about the so-called bad design of our eyes. The results are in. God did good.

Degeneration is a result of the fall.

Please state your supporting evidence for this belief.

Our eyes are made for our environment.

No they are not. The "TrueOrigins" wishful thinking aside, it's simply impossible to fathom that our eyes were "made" for the urbanized world most of us live in. And by "urbanized" I mean:
a) shopping for meat at the deli, not the savanna.
b) watching tv, not the distant sky for clouds.
c) reading books, not the patterns of the wildebeest migration.
d) having a life span of ~ 75 yrs, not 40.

That said, I'm not about to "cut mine out" as you suggested. I will admit though, your (I'm sure tongue in cheek) suggestion certainly does have an Old Testament ring to it. I'm quite lucky in that I still have 20/20 vision and I'm 30. This is rare and I know it.

Degeneration is a result of the fall.

I'm very interested to know the evidences for this claim. I want to be fully prepared next time I have my eyes tested to sound well educated to the Ophthalmologist. "Gee, doc, see... Adam ate an apple 6000 years ago and then his mutated rib named Eve ate an apple and the snake laughed at them and now I can't see so well at night."

And you're "incredulous" when it comes to evolution??

Did man walk on all fours before the Fall? Else why is our gutbag hung from a suspension that only works correctly in a horizontal mode?
