The eyeball as testimony to evolution?

[Chris_Falter]

@cewoldt

This is the level of information and evidence creationists are looking for when they ask for a “detailed account” of the evolution of the eye, but it is not available.

Some big picture articles have already been cited by Christy early in this thread. What do you think of those two articles?

Also, please bear in mind that when a stochastic process occurs over millions of years, lots of details get lost. And biology is a stochastic process.

Describing an evolutionary history is not the same thing as describing an automobile assembly line because, in principle, everything above the quantum level can be explained in an automobile factory. This is not true of stochastic processes such as stock market indexes and biological evolution.

That you think an auto factory is a suitable analogy makes me wonder how deeply you understand biology.

Best,
Chris

EDIT: Another recent BioLogos thread has links to additional resources on the evolution of vision. I think you will find it illuminating, Craig.

Eyeball as evidence for evolution?

Our son is researching for an in-class debate on the topic of whether the eyeball demonstrates evidence for design or evolution. Any good articles or websites to help us strengthen his position on the evolutionary side?
