           and narrowest towards the center (Figure 1.21). This field prevents the promi-
           nence of the nose from interfering with our vision.
                What if the visual field did not narrow towards the center? If this were
           the case, the nose would become an immovable obstruction to our vision. We
           would be forced to look at our noses all day, constantly. But thanks to this dis-
           tinction, given to us by God, the nose causes us little discomfort on a day-to-
           day basis. 13


                The Identity of the Eye
                Fingerprints are a popular means of identifying people. And just as with
           fingerprints, the pattern of every person's iris is different, thanks to the vary-
           ing arrangements of connective tissues, tissue fibers, muscle lines, blood ves-
           sels, rings, color, and stains within the iris.
                Every one of the billions of humans on the planet possesses a different
           eye pattern. No pair of eyes are the same, not even on the same individual.
