Let’s try this another way. You are a Christian on an atheist discussion forum. What does the evolution of the human eye, or the theory of evolution in general, have to do with either Christianity or atheism? In what way is your OP relevant to either? Why aren’t you posting on an evolutionary biology discussion forum?
My apologies, I was under the impression that posting on a thread designated for life sciences was sufficient to discuss topics in biology and psychology. If you think the members here are, for whatever reason, not qualified to discuss the subject, then would you be able to recommend an evolutionary biology discussion forum I can go to? I don't know any.

The first is wrongly attributing some kind of spiritual meaning, such as fate, to the word destination. The second is holding some kind of anti-deterministic philosophy, in which organisms exist outside of any casual chains.So dishonest argument from ignorance is all you have? You can't think of an alternative, therefore no alternative exists? That is all you have to offer?
No, if I can only think of two reasons, then I can only think of two reasons. If I thought no other alternatives exist, then I would have said no other alternatives exist. Reading is challenging, I know, many struggle with it.

What is johnisms explanation? It’s starting to look like Swiss cheese.
Again, I don't know what Johnism is, nor what Model Based Control is. Feel free to expound on them, or link any useful review articles on the subject. Thanks.
