The human eye works by some 40 different parts functioning together. If just one of
these is not present, the eye will serve no purpose. Each of these 40 parts has its own
individual complex structure. For instance, the retina, at the back of the eye, is made up
of 11 strata (above right), each of which has a different function. The theory of
evolution is unable to account for the development of such a complex organ.

with it? For instance, how did the lens, retina, optic nerve, and all the other
parts in vertebrates that play a role in seeing suddenly come about? Because
natural selection cannot choose separately between the visual nerve and the
retina. The emergence of the lens has no meaning in the absence of a retina.
The simultaneous development of all the structures for sight is
unavoidable. Since parts that develop separately cannot be used, they will
both be meaningless, and also perhaps disappear with time. At the same
time, their development all together requires the coming together of
unimaginably small probabilities. 343
What Professor Demirsoy really means by "unimaginably small
probabilities" is basically an "impossibility." It is clearly an impossibility
for the eye to be the product of chance. Darwin also had a great difficulty
in the face of this, and in a letter he even admitted, "I remember well the
time when the thought of the eye made me cold all over." 344
In The Origin of Species, Darwin experienced a serious difficulty in the
face of the eye's complexity. The only solution he found was in pointing to
the simpler eye structure found in some creatures as the origin of the more
complex eyes found in others. He claimed that more complex eyes evolved
from simpler ones. However, this claim does not reflect the truth.
Paleontology shows that living things emerged in the world with their
exceedingly complex structures already intact. The oldest known system
