So are you proposing intelligent design in its place?
Its funny you are talking about the eye. Did you know the human eye has a blind spot and that we actually see things upside down. Thats quite a big whole torn out of any intelligent design argument. And in case that wasn't enough, did you also know that squid eyes don't have blind spots. So why did god give us blind spots but not squids? The answer is simple. He didn't. Human eyes and squid eyes evolved. What is even more amazing is that human eyes and squid eyes evolved completely separately from one another yet the end result is so similar.
