Science, Creation & EvolutionEvolution vs. Intelligent Design for DummiesSorry, but cameras ARE designed much more like cephalopod eyes than human. Cameras are designed with NO blind spot, like cephalopod eyes, so the 100% of the image falls on the CCD (or film) without being blocked. The CCD elements face the lens (just like the cephalopod layout, unlike the mammalian backward retina layout) and the wiring goes directly from the back of the CCD elements into the memory (just like the cephalopod layout, unlike the mammalian retina optic nerve wiring) Would you buy a camera that put a round black spot in the middle of every picture? The mammalian eye is not a bad design, it is an adequate design given the physical design constraints evolution had to work with. Cephalopod eyes evolved through a completely different evolutionary pathway, so they have a completely different physiology. There are many types of eye design found in the natural world, from very simple to very complex. Here is a good reference that summarizes the evolutionary pathways of various eye types. As I warned, detailed scientific pertinent data is technical by nature, so you will have to learn at least some basic terminology to follow along. http://www.maayan.uk.com/evoeyes1.html - Tiggy. BTW, why were so many on topic messages deleted from the Steve Jones thread? Did someone accidentally hit "edit" twice in one night? |
