Page 113 - Miracle in the Eye

HARUN YAHYA

As mentioned before, something
else that couldn't possibly have
evolved is the visual system.
This is reinforced by the flawless
nature of an eagle's eye. An eye
with two foveae cannot form
over time, as a result of coinci-
dences. That second fovea was
deliberately created to answer
the bird's needs.
For an eagle, that droplet of oil in
its retina cells is of staggering im-
portance... But who made this
fine optical adjustment? Did the
eagle add the oil himself, or on
other animals' recommendation?
Of course not. The eagles have
enjoyed this feature from birth, for thousands of years.
So why are our eyes not as sharp as an eagle's? If human eyes contained
the same features, they'd each be the size of a grapefruit. Moreover, humans
don't need to spot a camouflaged rabbit from a kilometer away. This is why
God gave humans their present eyes in a most aesthetic form.

Jumping Spiders
Compared to ordinary spiders, the jumping spider leads a very unusual
life. Rather than make a web and wait for a catch, these spiders hunt their
prey instead. This is why—unlike ordinary spiders, which are almost
blind—they have exceptionally acute vision.
A jumping spider hunts by securing itself to the branch of a tree with
the thread it secretes. Then it throws itself toward an insect flying nearby,
catching it in midair. In order to snare its catch, the spider needs to see its
prey, and determine the direction and speed at which the target is traveling.
Also, of course, it must determine its own speed and the duration of the leap.
