sive accumulation of light-sensitive cells in the front part of the body due
to very different causes, must have faced the threat of instant elimination
because of the way it was a functionless mechanism. Because two totally
opposing demands, illumination or clarity, could not have been met in its
state at that time. We know that the eye overcame this dilemma by using
a lens. Because no matter how large the aperture, no matter how much
light enters the chamber, the lens still provides images with no lack of
clarity by performing "net focusing." But is the universe a physicist?
Because only physicists know how the lens will overcome this difficulty,
and we who read their words. 358

Plant Science at Utah State University:
Even something as complex as the eye
has appeared several times; for example,
in the squid, the vertebrates, and the
arthropods. It's bad enough accounting
for the origin of such things once, but the
thought of producing them several times
according to the modern synthetic theory
makes my head swim. 359
Professor Ali Demirsoy is a biologist
Frank Salis bury
at Hacettepe University in Turkey and
specializes in zoogeography:
It is rather hard to reply to a third objection. How was it possible for a
complicated organ to come about suddenly even though it brought bene-
fits with it? For instance, how did the lens, retina, optic nerve, and all the
other parts in vertebrates that play a role in seeing suddenly come about?
Because natural selection cannot choose separately between the visual
nerve and the retina. The emergence of the lens has no meaning in the ab-
sence of a retina. The simultaneous development of all the structures for
sight is unavoidable. Since parts that develop separately cannot be used,
they will all be meaningless, and also perhaps disappear with time. At the
same time, their development all together requires the coming together of
unimaginably small probabilities. 360
