Vision and Evolution (A Critique of Dawkins)

We can cut through all this noise by getting straight to the heart of things.  Imagine a world in which your god exists, and the theory of evolution is accurate.  Not some ID nonsense.  Modern synth.  

Is this some intractable issue for your beliefs?

If I were atheist I would still disagree with the aspects of evolutions I disagree with. God's existence doesn't change the fact that most accounts of the evolution of the eye fail to mention its relationship with the rest of the visual system. Take the LGN of the thalamus, this is where the axons from the ganglion cells in the retina go synapse to. Every ganglion cell in the retina is accounted for the LGN, meaning that the LGN is just as complex as the retina. The LGN is just the first stop sensory information takes on its way to the cortex and beyond.

But I guess that doesn't matter, because once the eye spot of a primitive organism becomes concave it can magically sense direction. Nevermind everything else.

I don't see how I'm saying anything controversial here.
