from no eyeballs to fully developed eyeballs, never any evidence of something in-between

It has been shown that the rod and cone cells of our eyes are related to light sensitive brain cells that exist in a marine worm. This type of worm has not evolved itself much in the last 600 million years. link

So going from brain cells to light-sensitive brain cells would be an intermediate step.

Why would you need to go from Light Sensitive Brain Cells when you can go all the way back to Single Celled Animals and discover that they have a light sensitive spot!

Nikko Tinbergen made these points 70 years ago ~ that ALL animals of ALL types Have the Same Organs or Organelles.

ALL means All.

Unless you have the organs to handle the processes you have no existence.

I think the Darwinian model fails because of this cold, hard fact about "organs" or "organelles". There simply isn't the EVOLUTION of a new organ or organelle to handle a totally new process not found in any other animal over a period of time extending over 600 million years.

Even the most ancient sponges have 70% of the same genes that modern humans have ~ and, essentially, the same organs.

If there's no evolution on the big stuff, then where is it? Seems to me all it may have added is a little whittling around the fundamentals ~ but nothing major!
