Intelligent Design: Irreducible Complexity?

[Jaysyn]

I think it's just because humans previously did not understand how the eye works and how it was formed by evolutionary processes and therefore an Intelligent Designer was the reason. But now we DO understand the processes that created the eye and how it functions so therefore there was no reason anymore to wedge an Intelligent Designer in.

Cool, lets hear how the eye developed step by step.

You can start with the basics here.

In fact, eyes corresponding to every stage in this sequence have been found in existing living species. The existence of this range of less complex light-sensitive structures supports scientists' hypotheses about how complex eyes like ours could evolve. The first animals with anything resembling an eye lived about 550 million years ago. And, according to one scientist's calculations, only 364,000 years would have been needed for a camera-like eye to evolve from a light-sensitive patch.

And then when you understand it, you can move on to something with a little more meat to it here.

You're welcome.

I could have a light sensitive cell on my elbow, but it's not going to do me any good, as the rest of my body either doesn't receive the information it provides, or doesn't know to do anything with that information.

You could, but since it doesn't benefit you one bit in regards to your survival & ability to procreate, it doesn't matter now does it?

BTW, isn't ignoring mountains of evidence to keep arguing a debunked point against the forum rules?
