eyes – Uncommon Descent

Trilobites at 429 mya had eyes like bees

Note that we are told that the find “helps track the evolution of eyes and vision in arthropods over time” but in this case, it appears that their wasn’t much evolution: They “developed apposition compound eyes during the earliest evolutionary stages of the group and stuck with this design throughout their history.” No matter the history, Darwin must be placated.

Evolution Intelligent Design

Scallops’ 200 eyes “even more complex” than realized

Take a deep breath and keep repeating “It all just happens randomly somehow. The same random way buildings get built and books get written.”

Convergent evolution Evolution Intelligent Design

Convergent eye evolution shows that evolution is “easy”?

Here’s an inventive turn of phrase from Nature: “Eye evolution came easy for simple sea creatures Family tree shows that jellies and their relatives evolved eyes independently at least eight times.” Jellyfish and their kin have no brains and make do with rudimentary nervous systems. But an analysis now shows that these simple sea creatures Read More…
