                 THE EXTRAORDINARY HARMONY BETWEEN
                 SUNLIGHT AND THE EYE
                      Only the “visible light” wavelengths on the electromagnetic
                 spectrum can enable biological vision. The largest part of the ra-
                 diation emitted by the Sun falls within this parameter.
                      For vision to occur, the cells of the retina must be photosen-
                 sitive, in other words, able to register photons. This requires that
                 photons fall within the visible spectrum, because photons of dif-
                 ferent wavelength are either too weak or too strong to be regis-
                 tered by retina cells. Altering the size of the eye would make no
                 difference, because what matters is the size of the cells, the har-
                 mony between them, and the wavelength at which the photons
                 occur.

                      As we all know, organic molecules—the building blocks of
                 living cell structures—are produced by a diversity of different
                 combinations of carbon atoms. The “seeing” cells they form reg-
                 ister only visible light.
                      Consequently, eyes of living beings register only the visible
                 light emitted by the Sun. These factors combine to create vision.
                 God specifically created both the eye and the Sun that emits light

                 at the proper wavelength for it to perceive.
                      Professor Michael Denton investigated this subject in great
                 detail in his book Nature’s Destiny, concluding that an organic
                 eye could produce vision only within the limits of visible light.
                 No other theoretically conceivable eye design can register differ-
                 ent wavelength:
