Bang Goes The Theory - Richard Dawkins on Eye Evolution

Many creationists often cite the eye as something that appears too complex to be produced by evolution (and therefore requiring a designer). Here Liz exposes the flaw in this line of thinking with professor Richard Dawkins.

Richard Dawkins explains the eye in his fantastic "Growing up in the Universe" series: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4742301713635559854

@hisham031170 LOL yes it IS. Evolution is science and fact. The Bible is fantasy and actually bullshit. Constantine and the council of Antioch made the bible the books they are leaving out over 150 other books. The bible is a piece of a rich mans arse. its worthless. and that IS a fact. Evolution is FACT.

Dover trial.intelligent desighn is not science, not a theory and Not supported by the VAST majority of scientists ,world wide!you cannot support your beliefs with verifiable peer reviewed evidence, all you can do is quote a book of fallacy written in the bronze age.

[Fishingbirb]

MegaFloyd100 the only ambiguity is in your head,because you cannot stand that evolution is a FACT,all aspects of evolution have been rigerously tested for 150 years and not one test has shown it to be wrong...EDUCATE YOURSELF before coming at me with you bullshit

[Fishingbirb]

MegaFloyed100 thanx for proving my point,you are ignorant, iriducible complexity has been debunked by top scientist like Ken Miller,Kevin Padian,Jerry Coyne for many years now.iethe kitzmiller vs,

[MegaFloyd100]

@Fishingbirb err,PARTS of the evolutionary theory are ''very testable and very observable ''

The countless unproveable parts are filled in by conjecture & naturalistic blind faith.Rather than welcome robust scientific dissent,Evolutionary science is so weak it is reduced to being a quest for CONFIRMING evidence only.The reason you are so upset at ''heretics'' like me is because it is more than a science debate for you.It is really your religion being questioned,as your angry fanaticism reveals.

[MegaFloyd100]

@Kaldhore Mmmm 2particles of nothing explode to create an entire solar system and planet earth, THEN, irreducibly complex cells / life magically appearing from NON LIVING matter.! Atheists are much too smart to believe in ''an imaginary invisible force that did lots of things we cant explain and called them miracles!''...Gee,thanks for setting me straight!

[Kaldhore]

@MegaFloyd100 Go look at their evidence - their years of charts and experiments that have been recorded. Are you a complete dumbfuck? oh yea u are u believe some imaginary invisible force did lots of things we cant explain and called them miracles - which OUR pope now says most of them werent miracles (vaticanII) and saints who arent saints anymore....blah blah blah

[Kaldhore]

@MegaFloyd100 You really need to stop Quoting the bible cos If you dont I will start quoting from the bible passages that include saying that raping a woman is better than raping a man. I have Alot more if you want to hear it. Cherry pick all you want the bible is bullshit made up at the council of Antioch by constantinople a heaten till death. It was a population control exercise. Sorry but the bible is a greedy mans way to control people.

[Kaldhore]

@MegaFloyd100 Not true. Go look it up and stop quoting Job from a fantasy book to give evidence.

@bdwilson1000 Did you even watch the video? There are extant organisms that display stages of eye formation, not fossils required.
