  • I think the author of this video is trying to express this statement:

    "Humans are stupid and we can't understand complex biology, such as the eye. We are so insecure, we can assume that we will always be too stupid to understand the eye in the future. No matter how long or far into the future that may be. Humans are just so inept at understanding this biology, that we can assume we will never have an answer, and therefore lets just resign ourselves to believing god made eyes with his magic"

  • @Futureplanet

    You know what, I am totally honest and serious right now, if biology didn't exist, atheism would be much more logical, because what would "be" an eye then? Just an organ that sees, nothing sounds complicated, right? Understanding how eye or any other organ or system works more only demonstrates more complexity, intelligence and consciousness, nothing else. Which are never owned by blind,deaf,dumb and brainless nature,coincidences or random mutations

    Best regards, peace and love.

  • Not the eye argument again...

  • where is the argument buddy?

    just show me a sentence from the video like "this proves God,that disproves evolution..."

    in fact,there is not

    and even an atheist friend down there (joebot1) says this is a great video

    maybe thats because his heart is not filled with hatred against,at least beauty and wonder

    you understand it as an argument bcs all you think about is finding a hole to tuck your head and shut your alreadily dead conscience down

  • Please dont make assumptions like that. I know the eye is an amazing "piece of machinery", but it is FAR from perfect. Look at this video which explains some faults of the eye and some faults of the body:

    watch?v=CZkPAanGXsc&feature=su­bscription

    If the eye was so perfect, it would not have all these faults. The fact that the eye is the way it is is actually proof of evolution. But dont take my word for it, watch the video by two evolutionary biologists.

  • Every gradation between simple eyespot and the human eye are visible in nature.

    BTW, the eye does not determine distance, the brain does by compositing images from both eyes.

    The irreducible complexity argument has been put to rest for several years now.

    So yes, the eye IS amazing, but not improbable, nor unlikely.

    It is also, however, testament to the power of evolution and any intelligence (if any) that is behind it.

This video is a response to Richard Dawkins - "What if you're wrong?"

  • Allahu Akbar

  • @HighFlyingDutchman You are assuming an eye because it is complicated cannot be made by natural biological processes (even though we have a natural biological explanation, which is much more likely than "it was done by magic")

    But, because YOU don't know that process, and because YOU want to assume it cannot be further expanded upon in the future, it somehow supports your God theory.

    The fact is, there is NO evidence that God made the eye. Where is his signature "GOD DID THIS" on the eyeball?

  • Since when did evolution create a space telescope that can see into the furtherest parts of the universe?

    Scientists haven't come close to developing a camera like our eye, because we don't need to.

    We have night vision googles, telescopic lenses, I think we have amazing cameras that function better than our own eyes for specific purposes.

    Even if we can't develop a camera like our eye...so what!? Doesn't mean we never will. Cavemen didn't have electricity.

    Evolution is a fact.

  • Subhan Allah Allah is great

    

  • lets take a moment to thank God , the One and Only , Alpha and Omega ... Who created such beautiful and mind bogglingly complex designs

  • god is really there

  • *sub* :)

  • If I lost my eyes I'm sure someone would be honest enough to hand them in.
