Further, you’ve been told that there are evolutionary explanations for the evolution of vision in creatures with eyes and “more”.
Either explanation (and there are many in each set, what with the diversity of life and all....) is accurate with respect to what it attempts to explain. Neither is made less accurate on account of there being other sets of also-facts about other things.
As long as you agree that the statement is true, then there's no controversy. Hopefully you can see, however, that telling is not the same as explaining, substantiating, showing, illustrating, etc. You do a lot of telling, and very little of anything else. That doesn't meet my criteria of usefulness, but to each their own.
