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??

Jesus was in the New Testament. It was him who said if your eye offends you, pluck it out. There was an eye for an eye tooth for a tooth in the Old Testament, but the particular reference is from the new.

Don't lie.

2 Peter 3:3-7
First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

And you're "incredulous" when it comes to evolution?? Yes, I am.
