Again, NS is wholly dependent upon 100% random mutations. Are you still denying this and calling me crazy? That’s rich
NS can only keep traits caused by 100% randomness and I know “evolution “ occurs over time
But tell me you find it normal happenstance
That a perfect set of owls eyes will appear?
I keep bringing this up because I want to know the logistics of how you fall for this crazy lucky coincidences.

Well now you have actually hit on one of the easiest to explain the evolution of the eye. 
Every part of the evolution is of the eye is both in fossil records and evident in animals alive now.
In some animals there are even instances where eyes have evolved twice with each set working in different ways.

If you're really interested in evolution of eyespots in butterflies, get some book about evolution. Like, here's what "The Princeton Guide to Evolution" says about it.

Quote:Artificial selection experiments have also been used to examine the flexibility of evolution in different directions of morphospace for two wing eyespots in this species of butterfly. Each eyespot pattern element consists of concentric rings of epithelial cells containing different-colored pigments. They are often arranged in an anterior to posterior column along the wing margins, and may then function in misdirecting the attacks of predators hunting by sight, away from the vulnerable body. A series of eyespots on the same wing surface behave as a module in which each eyespot is based on a central signal-diffusion system (or “organizer”) during development, and they all express the same set of genes during pattern determination. Thus, the eyespots represent a set of repeated elements exhibiting strongly positive genetic correlations for both eyespot size and color composition such that selection targeting either
trait for a specific eyespot in B. anynana yields corre-
sponding responses in the other eyespots (note that the
two eyespot traits show little, if any, genetic covariance).
A series of artificial selection experiments performed by
Patrı´cia Beldade examined whether repeated eyespots
can evolve independently. By simultaneously targeting
two different eyespots on the same wing, the experi-
ments explored the extent to which the pattern of eye-
spots, in terms of relative size or color composition, is
flexible in evolutionary terms; for example, with respect
to size, can two different eyespots be selected to both
either increase or decrease in size, and also for one to
become larger and the other smaller? A high flexibility in
the evolution of extreme, novel forms toward all four
corners of theoretical morphospace for this pattern was
observed for the pattern of relative eyespot size over 25 generations of selection. This result is consistent with
neither intrinsic constraints nor any strong bias in po-
tential responses to natural selection. This flexibility
of response in this experimental system appears to be
reflected in a full exploration of morphospace for the
same pattern when variation in the species-rich tribe of
butterflies is considered. In contrast, experiments on
eyespot color yielded very little response and no novel
phenotypes when two eyespots were selected in oppos-
ing directions. The different responses of the two traits
may be traceable to mechanisms of developmental reg-
ulation; whereas the size of each eyespot depends on the strength of the organizing “signaling” source at its
center, the regulation of eyespot color involves threshold responses to the signals and occurs at the level of the whole wing epidermis.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

But, Musk is notorious for fulfilling his promises; he's also notorious for being way fucking late on fulfilling those promises.

It's not a matter of if the CyberTruk will be made and released to the public, it's a matter of when it will be made and released. And I don't think we'll see it for some years to come.

Lol did you not like the thing? It's weird as fuck, admittedly.

My guess is that the first one will roll off the production lines about a year after the traditional car makers (with their ability to make cars properly) muscle Tesla out of it's market share (which is happening already because of Musk's inability to actually run a company without creaming money off the top, even before the traditional car makers are getting serious about EVs, Tesla's had half of its Californian orders cancelled, the one market where it actually has a market so far), so somewhere between a week and a month before liquidation.

It doesn't matter he will keep screaming NS is random and raving that because he thinks it unlikely it is.

By the way he will just whine that the eye spots were not "created " whole cloth or whine the experiment was designed and then harp on about random mutations and personal credulity
