Page 85 - Miracle in the Eye

not apply to the eye. Therefore, they've resorted to calling it "the miracle of
evolution."
On this matter, Professor Ali Demirsoy, one of Turkey's leading evolu-
tionist scientists, says the following:
The formation of a complete eye [including the mammal eye] was no
more than a few hundred million years ago. It is a miracle of evolution
that this complex organ formed in such a short period of time. 26

The word miracle is defined as "an event that appears to be contrary to the
laws of nature and is regarded as an act of God." 27
As the above quote clearly displays, even evolutionists must admit that
the eye is a miracle. But their theory cannot come up with an explanation as to
how this miracle emerged. Evolutionists claim evolution to be a "force of na-
ture," and a miracle is something beyond nature. But how can one expect from
nature something "beyond nature"? Since there are hundreds of other mecha-
nisms in the human body just as astounding as the eye, shouldn't it be accepted
that the human body as a whole is a miracle?
The fact that eye works as a whole, and that it is too interconnected to
have "evolved" over time has put evolutionary scientists into a difficult situa-
tion. Professor Demirsoy describes this situation, in the same essay, as follows:
It is rather hard to reply to a third objection… How could such a compli-
cated organ possibly come about suddenly, even though it brought bene-
fits with it? For example, how did the lens, retina, optic nerve, and all the
other parts that play a role in seeing in vertebrates suddenly emerge?
Natural selection cannot choose separately between the visual nerve and
the retina. In the absence of a retina, the presence of a lens offers no ad-
vantage. The simultaneous development of all the structures for sight is
inevitable. Since parts that develop separately are wholly useless, they
will both be meaningless, and also perhaps disappear with time. At the
same time, their simultaneous development requires the coming together
of unimaginably small probabilities. 28
Regarding the origin of the octopus's eye, let us also look at Professor
Demirsoy's words:
There are organs that developed separately from one another through
