Vision and Evolution (A Critique of Dawkins)

[John 6IX Breezy]

Now... about those brainless eyed critters and those critters who don't use their eyes to respond to their environment....

Not at work.

I thought I already responded to that elsewhere, but its ok. First, keep in mind we're talking about how things change or evolve. Pointing to a species with brains and no eyes isn't useful unless you're using them as a predictive step in our evolution, for example. What good is a species with no eyes, in a discussion about eyes lol. Clarify that for me a little more, so we're on the same page. For now my answer is that brains can do other things besides seeing. And as far as eyes with no brains, I would ask if you're using brains in a specific sense, or as a general description of whatever processes information? Are you talking about organisms with eyes whose visual information leads absolutely nowhere?

But I agree that Dawkins' video is meant for children, I believe they are Christimas lectures even lol; I've said previously that my statements shouldn't be controversial.
