Arrows are not as good an analogy for random chance operating on a particular environment as dropping random objects toward a hole with a specific shape.
Incidentally, the octopus eye and the human eye, while convergent in the sense that they are both spherical devices with nerves connecting to the brain at the back, which allow for light to be focused and resolved into a visible image, are actually very different in the way they evolved. You should look it up if you want serious detail, but the short version is that the human optic nerve emerges from inside the eye, "in front of" the retina, and the gathered clusters then travel back out through the rear of the eye, creating a blind spot in the vision of each eye. Octopi do not have blind spots in their vision because their nerves run from the back of the retina and so the bundled optic nerve does not need to pass through the eye itself to reach the brain.
Both are examples of round balls found under a round hole, after random chance has tried a lot of different solutions that didn't fare as well under the pressures of Natural Selection (the environment; the round hole).

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
