It’s the fact that a Perfect pair of ’s eyes appears on the butterflies wings,
ow many mutations did it take for that to happen? Was it just one eye first then d part of the second eye and then the irises after?
Then the rest of the second eye?
And what about how far they are spaced apart, in perfect proportion. What luck!!!
It only took 10,000 years for humans to utilize artificial selection to get, friendly, easily trainable, 25 pound dachshunds from 120 pound, wild, barely manageable, wolfs. All humans had to do, is start selecting for is, mutations for slightly more social wolfs (those that seemed to interact a bit more with humans), and slightly shorter legs, and breeding them.
Why do you think nature couldn't select for mutations on butterfly wings that slightly looked like the eyes of a more threatening animal, giving them a slight reproductive and survival advantage, thereby selecting them to continue to pass down their genes?
And by the way, those butterflies with 'perfect owl eye' wing patterns are not even 100% effective against being eaten by their predators. A decent percentage still get eaten. The eye patterns just give them a moderate survival advantage, not a complete survival advantage.
What is the biological mechanism that you think exists to prevent this process for butterflies, but allows it for wolfs and dogs?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
