The Eye of the Python

Right! Stop that! It's SILLY! Dear friends, if you're not familiar with the timeless genius of Monty Python then this one might be a bit over your head. It's an adaptation of the following classic sketch:

I got the idea for this from, unsurprisingly, reading Richard Dawkins' The Greatest Show On Earth. Particularly the chapter which deals with the enormous amount of evidence pointing to life having NOT been designed by an intelligent agency, given all the incredible design flaws that can be seen throughout all of biology. The vertebrate eye is a very good example of this, for the reasons you can hear herein.

I usually like to give detailed references where I can, but the research for this one was just a wild goose-chase around the net picking up bits of info here and there, mainly from Wikipedia. So tough, you'll have to take my word for it.

Yes, yes, its all a bit exaggerated. I am very grateful for my eyes and am in fact one of the lucky ones who cannot complain of any eye weakness of any kind.

ONLY MONTY PYTHON PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO DMCA ME ON THIS ONE. AND IF YOU DO, GUYS, CAN I GET THE COURT PAPERS AUTOGRAPHED?! I definitely wont put an ad on this one, its definitely NOT exclusively my own material!

@j919or You saying something is illogical is like an ant thinking it understands physics. You are so full of fear & hate & selfloathing, you do not have a clue about reality. No sane person wants to be tortured for eternity. No sane person wants anyone else to be tortured for eternity. No 1 who is mentally fit to decide chooses to be tortured. STOP spewing hate & lies.

@8698gil Yes. If I was designed, it is astounding how they got a few things so right yet many others so wrong.

To every atheist having to face the question of "What if you're wrong" theist, this is video is the very centre of that answer.

Just say God is sooooooo stupid, you can convince him (or her, who knows) to shut the F**K UP and stop being a asshole god.

The only way this whole video could be made better would be if there were a transition from the adaptation of the "Parrot Sketch" to the adaptation of the "Lumberjack Song".
