The Eye

THE EYE

Here is a question for the evolutionist. How does a pinhead-size ball of cells (the tiny human embryo) in the course of so many weeks become a child?

Let us consider just one part of the embryo--the eye. The many cells which make the human eye, have engaged millions of performers in hundreds of sequences of individual and colonies of cells to perform exactly as God created them. The eyeball is a little spheroid "camera" which focuses itself automatically. The image focused by the lens of the eye falls on the "screen", the retina, at the back of the eyeball. Each retina has about 130,000,000 cells. There are two types of cells in the retina—rods and cones, so named because they look something like these under a microscope. The rods are used for general perception of light; the cones are used to see color and fine details. The bi-convex lens is made of cells like those of the skin; but, modified to be glass-clear, and FREE FROM BLOOD VESSELS which would throw shadows within the eye. In front of it a circular screen controls the width of the beam and is automatically adjusted so that, in poor light, more is taken in for the image. Furthermore, the lens of the eye, compassing what no other lens can, changes its curvature to focus near objects as well as distant, when wanted. Not only the lens, but the pupil, the camera stop, is also self-adjusting.

After all this, the eye then sends into the cell and fiber of the brain, continual rhythmic streams of tiny, individual, evanescent, electrical potentials. This results from the tiny, two-dimensional, upside down pictures of the outside world which the eyeball "paints" on the beginnings of its nerve fibers to the brain. This then sets up an electrical storm affecting the whole population of brain cells. In some mysterious way, these allow me to see the "picture" in color, the brightness, the shadow, the distance near or far, the horizontal, the vertical, etc.

We have only touched on one small speck of the complexity of the human eye. Mr. God-Denying Evolutionist, tell me why all of the finest minds in the world in Biology, Chemistry, and science cannot mass-produce an exact replica of the human eye? After all, we do have any number of the originals to copy from. Do you want me to believe that the human eye, in all its complexity, just evolved by some chance? Thus denying the Almighty God who created mankind?

God's answer to the evolutionist is found in 1 Corinthians 1:18-19,

"For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise…For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness: but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."
