The Evolutionists' Major Deception
Regarding Antennae and the Eye
Each and every one of the dead-ends facing the theory of evo-
lution is ignored in the documentary. When the film, which looks at
natural history from an evolutionist perspective, speaks of the
arthropods, it resorts to totally fictitious Darwinist scenarios to ac-
count for the perfectly designed organs in these animals' bodies.
One of these organs is the arthropod antennae, which work to-
gether with a complex nervous system. For instance, the 15-30-cm-
long antennae of lobsters are organs that can perform special scan-
ning motions in the water and are equipped with sensitive tiny
hairs capable of trapping chemicals. The claim put forward to ac-
count for the origin of such a complex organ is very far from ex-
plaining this multi-faceted design: "Arthropods developed a series
of antennae to help them in their lives."
It is true that the arthropods' antennae make their lives easier. It
is also true that there is a purpose behind their design. Yet, it is im-
possible for an arthropod, lacking all powers of reason, to have
adopted an aim for itself and to have designed and developed a pair
of antennae in the light of that aim. In the same way that we human
beings do not "develop" eyes for ourselves but find them ready
when we are born, so the arthropods did not develop their anten-
nae but found them ready at their birth. That is because both eyes
and antennae, and all other organs, were created. The PBS makes no
mention of this fact, preferring instead the nonsensical claim that
the animals developed their organs for themselves.
Another organ based on evolution according to the documen-
tary, although no consistent evidence is given for its origin, is the
eye. The eye contains light-sensitive cells that are found in no other
organ of the body. The job of these cells is to transform light into
electrical energy and to forward this to the brain. The eye also con-
tains a lens system for focusing light.
