and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have
been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the
highest degree.... Reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a sim-
ple and imperfect eye to one complex and perfect can be shown to exist,
each grade being useful to its possessor, as is certainly the case; if further,
the eye ever varies and the variations be inherited, as is likewise certain-
ly the case and if such variations should be useful to any animal under
changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect
and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insupera-
ble by our imagination, should not be considered as subversive of the the-
ory. How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light, hardly concerns us more
than how life itself originated; but I may remark that, as some of the low-
est organisms, in which nerves cannot be detected, are capable of per-
ceiving light, it does not seem impossible that certain sensitive elements
in their sarcode (protoplasm) should become aggregated and developed
into nerves, endowed with this special sensibility. 350
California University professor of biology Christopher Wills states
in The Wisdom of the Genes:
That the body's defense system raises one of the most complex and con-
troversial questions in the whole field of biology. The human race has
been the target of diseases for millions of years, but we also know how to
defend ourselves against diseases we may encounter in the future. The
immune system uses immunoglobulins and proteins able to bind to mol-
ecules they have never seen before. Wills states that this state of affairs
seems to drag scientists into an area field that they prefer to avoid when
discussing evolution. He goes on to ask how the immune system can fore-
see the future and produce immunoglobulins capable of defending
against future attacks. 351
Engin Korur:
The common feature of eyes and wings is that they can perform their
functions only when they are fully developed. To put it another way, sight
is impossible with a deficient eye, and flight is impossible with half a
wing. How these organs appeared is still one of those secrets of nature
that have not yet been fully illuminated. 352
