That's the thing. Gradual steps suggest small changes. Small changes happen when it works best at each small stage. Each small stage has to be leading towards a whole system change. ie. little things that detect light towards a complicated system.

Let's talk about the mouse trap analogy because it's more simple. You have various parts right. But if they don't work together, then we have problem. It's useless.

You can talk about there being wooden planks on the ground in nature (analogy) but it doesn't mean the step of adding some useless parts that will lead eventually to a system of parts that is useful is possible. However, if it's guided by a designer, it can very well happen, because there is purpose.

Ah this is were I can help you out, yes on its own a mouse trap needs it parts to work but all of the components for it could have been used for many other things, like the wooden board could have been a door stop or the spring used to make a childs toy or the metal bar used for a mini football post, but instead they were used for a mousetrap as it was a design that was simple and effective, there were probably a few prototypes before the most efficient design was made (although those prototypes may now have a new porpose), inface some parts of creates have been used for something else or had a seconadry purpose with had a unexpected adavatage. Also as time goes on the design well get more effiance and new designs will be made but it all would have desended from that first 'design'. Your thinking that everything is not connected, were everything is and your ignoring the predecessors that came before and that each compent may have had a different job before coming together in that mouse trap.
