M MIRACLE IN THE EYE

flawlessly added into the body's DNA—alongside the 1,794 eye genes,
11,581 lung genes and millions of genetic codes—all at once. Only in this
way can later generations also possess these organs. In other words, it's im-
possible for any organ to develop in a body step-by-step.
Pushing aside the impossible for a moment, let's assume that micro-
mutations do allow for genetic additions. Let's also assume that the process
takes place in stages, over time, and that these new additions don't disap-
pear in following generations. Even with these assumptions, we cannot ade-
quately explain the presence of complex organs (eyes, wings) and systems
(respiratory, digestive) in the body. As we have mentioned throughout this
book, all relevant parts need to exist together, at the same time, in order for
complex systems to function. Therefore, parts already present in the system
would be useless and over time, would disappear because—according to
evolutionists—they have no function.

The Eyes as a Dead-End for Mutation
The eye is made up of many different layers and components, but
works as a whole, such that the absence of any layer or component renders it
blind. The cornea, iris, lens, retina, pupil muscles, pigments, tear glands, dis-
infectants contained in tears, the cone and rod cells, the nerves taking signals
from these cells to the brain and the advanced visual center at the back of the
brain—all are integral aspects of the visual system without which we cannot
see (Figures 3.2-3.4).
About this topic, an article in the journal Bilim ve Teknik (Science and
Technology) wrote the following:

The common trait of the eyes and the wings is that they can only func-
tion if they are fully developed. In other words, a halfway-developed
eye cannot see; a bird with half-formed wings cannot fly. 24
This is true. Analyzing the eye, it is clear that without tear glands to
regularly keep its surface clean, without a pupil to adjust the amount of light
hitting the protective cornea, or without the lens to focus light on the retina's
130 million cone and rod cells, the eye would not be able to function at all.
Also worth noting is that excavated fossils show us that the eye has re-
