All this supposedly happened by chance as as if it were rigged like getting 4 aces dealt to you multiple hands and then the pit boss at the casino would escort you and the dealer to the back room to have your hands broken.
The owls eyes are the same way, each mutation in the process as lucky as the rest to complete the job.
We know intelligent design is the best explanation for something along these lines OR the magic of chance evolution
Your mistake (among many) is assuming the owl eye pattern was a goal, instead of the result of providing a survival advantage.
Another mistake is you thinking that the owl eye pattern, is a 'complete job', when it only exists because it continues to provide the survival advantage.
If a new predator was introduced into the environment that contains one of the butterfly species with an eye pattern, that did not perceive the eye pattern as a threat, the population of butterflies with the eye pattern would be decimated. The very evolved mutation that previously provided a survival advantage, would now be a detriment to survival.
The owl eye pattern was 100% selected for (not chance) due to a survival advantage.
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.
