beginning stage of microbiology. The most probing questions about the
emergence of complex organelles again fall on deaf ears. No wonder the
evolutionists avoid discussing these fundamental subjects, except occa-
sionally by pretending to explain them by piling up numerous technical
details that, in the aggregate, hardly constitute an answer.
The eye, the subject of this book, is one of those organs of the body
that have kept evolutionists on the ropes ever since Darwin, who himself
confessed, "I remember well the time when the thought of the eye made
me cold all over."1 A close examination of the eye's structure and functions
will make it clear why evolutionists have felt compelled to avoid it. The
eye's complex structure has several distinct components and systems. An
amazing scope of distinctly different functions is realized individually, but
only as a result of harmonious cooperation between all of these compo-
nents and systems. If even one of them is missing or fails to cooperate, the
eye can't perceive images. This is a Catch 22 for the evolutionists, who hold
that all body parts have emerged gradually by themselves. That the eye
can only function as a whole only when all its every system and compo-
nent are present and intact rules out any such gradual formation.
To illustrate this crucial point, let us give a true-life example. An eye-
ball that does not secrete teardrops to lubricate itself will dry up and even-
tually go blind. Tears, with their antiseptic properties, also protect the eye
against microbes. The evolutionists do not even want to consider the fun-
damental question of how the eye, which would desiccate within hours
without tear secretion, could have persisted for millions of years before
tear glands had yet to emerge via the evolutionary progression. For the
evolutionist camp, insult is added to injury when they must account for
the fact that for the eye to accomplish its function, it requires a full body,
intact with its systems and organs—components and tissues such as the
cornea, retina, conjunctiva, iris, pupil, lens, choroid, eyelid, and the eye
muscles. In addition, vision requires the brain's complex visual area and
the amazing neural networks connecting the eye to the brain. All of these
subsystems feature structures that are far too complex and specialized to
have ever emerged by chance.
