Vision and Evolution (A Critique of Dawkins)
RE: Vision and Evolution (A Critique of Dawkins)
When creationist blab about how the eye can evolve in sync with the mind, they betray a colloquial perception that is totally at odds with any trained understanding of biology. Organs are for convenience of study because of particulars of human hardwire for cognition. Organs don't exist as independent entities that somehow "synchronizes" with others. They are all as integral parts of the organism as one photoreceptor cells is an integral part of a retina. Only thing that affects evolution is whether the configuration of the entire organism as one single whole, all interaction between all of its particular parts considered, favors survival or it doesn't. There is no such thing as synchronizing because they don't act independently.
