The lobster eye is composed
of numerous squares. These

fact the ends of tiny square
tubes. The sides of each one

eye are lodged at such perfect angles that they all

"irreducible complexity." If even one of its features – such as the facets of the
eye, which are perfect squares, the mirrored sides of each unit, or the retina
layer at the back – were eliminated, the eye could never function. Therefore,
it is impossible to maintain that the eye evolved step-by-step. It is
scientifically unjustifiable to argue that such a perfect design as this could
have come about haphazardly. It is quite clear that the lobster eye was
created as a miraculous system.
One can find further traits in the lobster's eye that nullify the assertions
of evolutionists. An interesting fact emerges when one looks at creatures
with similar eye structures. The reflecting eye, of which the lobster's eye was
