Did eyes evolve by Darwinian mechanisms? (Yet another area where evolution is being falsified)

Journal of Creation ^ | Jerry Bergman, Ph,D.

The evolution of the eye has always been a dilemma for evolutionists from Darwin’s time to the present. Although Darwin, Richard Dawkins and other evolutionists have tried to explain how an eye could evolve, their solutions are clearly unsatisfactory. Many kinds of eyes exist, but no progression of eye designs from simple to complex can be produced in the natural or fossil world. Furthermore, the simplest ‘eye’, the eyespot, is not an eye but pigmented cells used for phototaxis; yet even it requires an enormously complex mechanism in order to function as a vision system...

==Also, if believing in evolution means you go to hell, the entire planet might as well go up now since more and more people take it as a scientific fact.

First, roughly half this country believes in some form of creation. Second, the Bible clearly teaches that narrow is the way that leads to eternal life, and broad is the way that leads to destruction.

His gifting was from God. Every good gift comes from God above.

Get w/it already and shove your Islam comment - it really is so overplayed.

You can investigate all you want but you will NEVER prove God wrong. The only thing you will get will be a blowout w/spinning your wheels.

You are really hung up about Islam, did you just renounce that religion or just join it?

[GodGunsGuts]

At first I thought you were talking about other people. It’s a lot more serious now that I know you are yourself admitting to be a Communist. Would you like to clarify?

imagines himself enlightened,

The Word enlightens. It's a lamp unto our feet.

and enjoys that other are not.

Nothing enjoyable knowing others are deceived. And I thank the day when I was shown/told for I was once a "others are not".

they kept saying they were going to drag me down to their headquarters

No one is dragged. You were given free will - it's a choice where one spends eternity.

And you're going to return the favor by smugly leaving someone else not knowing?

[whattajoke]

Has anyone else noticed that the “intelligent design” charade seems to be dead, at least here on FR?

All we get now are unabashed YEC nonsense and not much more of the ID chicanery.

I wonder why that is? Did the Wedge Document really kill that nonsense, or have the FR creationists just given up pretending?

"...Ben didn't create lightening - he found a use for it that was God's plan all along. "For I know what you need before you ask"..."

I never asserted that Ben Franklin "created lightning". I asserted he was one of the first to UNDERSTAND the fundamental nature of lightning, and from that understanding, he formulated a method to avoid its randomly destructive effects on barns and churches and other tall structures.

So, you're saying that its God's plan for countless lives to suffer from natural catastrophes until someone He "gifts" with the intelligence and work ethic to figure out a solution comes up with one? Today, for example, lightning rods protect churches of all demoninations, synagoges, mosques and tall buildings owned by atheists. So, today's atheist with a tall building is worthy of protection, but a devout congregation of church goers can have their church burned down by a lightning strike prior to say, 1750? That's your position?

LOL. You religious people never fail to crack me up. It’s better than standup comeday.

[Prodigal Son]

Just poking fun at you. It’s fun to do that with the religious. I’m quite fond of poking at dogs in a cage with a stick too. I like watching them get all worked up.

I’ll stop troubling you now and let you get on with your serious mission.

[GodGunsGuts]

If that were true, you would be having a hayday with the Temple of Darwin. But that would require you to make fun of your evo co-religionists.

you're saying that its God's plan for countless lives to suffer from natural catastrophes until..

Never said anything like that. Your lack interpretation skills so anything I say is overload on you.

If I thought for one moment you have an open heart and mind, I'd answer. For certainly you do need answers - your post shows confusion.

If you are sincere and want Truth - you will find it but right now you are merely looking to argue. Ain't biting.

What you sow you reap, MORE than you sow, LATER than you sow. One day you will be worked up more than you can handle all by your own doing.

Evo's are more religious than most as they make it a lifestyle bowing at the feet of dead darwin all the while using God's earth to prove darwin right! LOL I'll use your line..you religious people never fail to crack me up.

“Ben didn’t create lightening - he found a use for it that was God’s plan all along. “For I know what you need before you ask””

—What use did Ben find for lightning?

[Rebel_Ace]

I'm confused?!?

I said that Franklin invented the Lightning Rod, not lightning itself.
You said, and I quote:

"...Ben didn't create lightening - he found a use for it that was God's plan all along. "For I know what you need before you ask"..."

I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed you meant something like "found a solution to the problem of lightning" when you said "..found a use for it".

Your sentence contains the phrase "that was God's plan all along".

Let me see if I can parse this correctly, without any "confusion":

"that was God's plan".

It is what God himself wanted to do.

"all along".

All along in this context means, "forever and always, from the beginning of time until its end," since this is God we are talking about here.

"...'For I know what you need before you ask'..."

God has the knowledge for the solutions of man's problems, and he won't divulge such knowledge until it fits his plan.

These are the plain meaning of your words. In the context of the example of lightning rods, this implies that it was God's plan to allow tall man-made structures to be struck by, and subsequently destroyed by lightning PRIOR to Franklin's work around 1750 or so. Such destruction was indescriminately applied around the world, to believers and non-believers alike. After 1750, both believers and non-believers can reap the benefits of Franklin's work.

"...Your lack interpretation skills so anything I say is overload on you..."

Care for a critique on your grammar and/or typing skills?

Or perhaps they are both part of an integrated system that were created to function together right from the start.

That would be my guess.

[ctdonath2]

Arguments along the line of “You suck!” “No, YOU suck!” don’t get anyone very far.

[ctdonath2]

Yup, hysterical fanatics on all sides of an argument tend to embarrass their more level-headed supporters.
