...create reality. Scientifically, the eye is just as wondrous. To Charles Darwin (1859, p 133), the notion that "the eye with all its inimitable contrivances...could have been formed by natural selection, seems . . . absurd in the highest degree." But as Darwin argued at least as well if not as succinctly, biology... | |

...Charles Darwin said, "The eye to this day gives me a cold shudder. To suppose that the eye, with all of its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus...seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree."52 Darwin wrote these words long before modern science began to understand the deeper chemical... | |
