The "Complexity of the Eye", for stupid creationists.

[Rev. Rye]

Usually when I hear someone argue about the complexity of the eye, they usually bring up a quote mine from Darwin, talking about how he didn't know how the complex eye formed, but it leaves out another part of the page which kind of invalidates their quote mine.

I can remember an episode of the Atheist Experience where a caller came in to point out that specific quote and, when they got to "absurd to the highest degree", the hosts just said: "What comes next?" Eventually, they got to the point where he explained it, and then he asked: what did it mean? He showed zero reading comprehension. 







Darwin's writing style is very heavy on shit like this: explain the objections, admit they may have a point, and then immediately explain why the objection does not hold up to much scrutiny.
