Some ‘eveloution’ proponent told me how an eyeball could evolve.

1) a living organization has a ‘bump’

2) the bump senses shadows (

3) it evolves into a bigger bump

4) eventually it forms a small hole forming a ‘keyhole’ camera.

5) it becomes and eye.

The stupidity of this is amazing.

You have to have true belief. It assumes the ‘bump’ on the first creature is inherited by all its children. Then it assumes the skin around this bump has some way to sense light. Then it evolves a bump with a keyhole- I think the probability of infection as this keyhole fills with dirt is higher than it evolving into an eye.

An eye is something that only works if it exists all at once.

“The stupidity of this is amazing.”

AKA ‘suppressing the truth in unrighteousness”

Are you sure you want to go here? The “CREVO” wars of FR’s past are legendary!

Furthermore, you are literally talking about the same mental processes that won’t accept President Elect Trump.

Every time I read an article on evolution I am reminded of how vast the faith of evolutionists is, as compared to the faith of those who believe in a Creator.

“Interestingly, the retina of cephalopods – octopi and squid – is not inverted. The cephalopod eye and the vertebrate eye, while strikingly similar, evolved completely independently of one another. Nature “invented” the camera-like eye at least twice, once in vertebrates and once in cephalopods. (Insects, arachnids, and crustaceans have an entirely different type of eye.) During the evolution of the cephalopod eye, the retina took shape in a more logical way, with the photoreceptors facing outward toward the light. Vertebrates were not so lucky.”

I heard the same idiotic explanation only it was an ‘eyeless skink’ that had a stick fall on it’s head- created an indent, and over time that indent ‘sensed more and more light’ until eventually by some miracle, a supernatural process was able to evolve an eye ‘out of necessity’

Here is one I bought into when I was an evolutionist atheist teenager. It's about how termites could evolve into building radio telescopes if it was important for their survival. What a joke! http://postcivilateum.blogspot.com/2008/10/termites-and-telescopes.html

A cute story, but what it really proves is that you need to upgrade the people you surround yourself with as that bares absolutely NO resemblance whatsoever to the theory of how eyes evolved (hint, some level of eye goes all the way down to single celled creatures):
