The crayfish has eyes consisting of regular, square surfaces. These
regular squares are in fact the front surfaces of square prisms. The inner
surface of each of these prisms in the crayfish eye has a mirrored surface
that reflects light strongly. The light reflected from this surface is
precisely focussed onto the retina located further back. All these prisms
have been installed at such an angle that they reflect the light perfectly
onto a single point.

This sophisticated system has been functioning impeccably in all
crayfish for hundreds of millions of years. Today's crayfish use exactly
the same system to see as those living 200 million years ago. This
effectively refutes Darwinists, who claim that living things developed
gradually.
