M MIRACLE IN THE EYE

fovea's center, the sensory layer is composed entirely of cone-shaped cells.
As mentioned earlier, cone cells can differentiate between visual details.
Here, therefore, at the point where vision is at its clearest, the colors, shapes
and depth of vision are concentrated. Outside the fovea, visual acuity can
drop by up to 1,000%.
When you examine an object carefully, your eyeball's active muscles
move and adjust themselves so that light can be concentrated upon the
fovea.
Someone with maximum visual acuity can discern, from ten meters
away apart, between two bright points as big as a tip of a needle, separated
by only a few millimeters.

The Choroid: A Vein of Life

Between the sclera and the retina lies the dark-brown vascular coat of the
eye known as the choroid. It is composed of blood vessels—millions of capillar-
ies—through which the cone and rod cells are fed.
By itself, the choroid is effective evidence that the theory of evolution is in-
coherent and laughable—additional proof of the miracle of creation.
Without the choroid, which feeds every cell in the retina, the eye would lie
completely useless. It's not possible for such a layer to evolve over time, simply
because most other components of the eye could never survive without it, how-
ever miraculous they may be in themselves.
As we have pointed out repeatedly, the eye is composed of countless dif-
ferent sections and layers that include the cornea, sclera, iris, pupil, lens, eyelid,
nerves connecting the cornea to the brain, and countless other structures. All of
them can work together only as a whole—they are simply too specialized and
interdependent to have evolved on their own. In order for the eyes to see, all
those other structures and tissues must be present at the same time, working in
complete and perfect synchronization.
This observation renders completely irrelevant the evolutionary theory
that humans reached their state today through a series of coincidental muta-
tions. Such a perfect organism cannot have come about by means of any power
other than creation. The choroid layer feeds the retina, in an unrivalled exam-
ple of God's artistry of creation.
