Science, Creation & EvolutionThe dangers of EvolutionBecause others here, including myself, posted links before you with details of the scientific evidence for eye evolution, including references to the primary research literature, but with your typical arrogance you couldn't even be bothered to open them. That's why. And please, do lecture us on prejudice that interferes with the free exchange of ideas. I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. I suppose no Creationist BB would be complete with the obligatory bit of dishonest Creationist quote mining. For those interested in honesty, here is the entire quote: "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of Spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree. When it was first said that the sun stood still and the world turned round, the common sense of mankind declared the doctrine false; but the old saying of Vox populi, vox Dei ["the voice of the people = the voice of God "], as every philosopher knows, cannot be trusted in science. Reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a simple and imperfect eye to one complex and perfect can be shown to exist, each grade being useful to its possessor, as is certain the case; if further, the eye ever varies and the variations be inherited, as is likewise certainly the case; and if such variations should be useful to any animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, should not be considered as subversive of the theory. - Charles Darwin" [/quote] So Darwin predicted that gradual variations in eye development would be shown to exist which they were, and he predicted a mechanism for the inheritance of heritable traits would be found which it was. Pretty smart chap, eh? A history of the dishonest use by other Creationists of the truncated version of this quote (and many others) can be found here http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/quotes/mine/part2.html Tiggy |
