Where Do Eyes Come From?   By Thomas F. Heinze     Evolutionary textbooks speculate that eyes gradually evolved from dark spots on the skin. They support eye evolution with an example: Fish that live for many generations in dark caves lose their eyesight.   Making fish go blind is the kind of thing that mutations (errors in copying DNA) might cause, but textbooks promoting evolution seem blind to the fact that fish going blind are not examples of eyes being formed, but being lost.   The speculation that eyes evolved from dark spots on the skin is contrary to the evidence: The most perfect eye lenses are found on trilobite fossils, index fossils the of the Cambrian period. Fossils from before the Cambrian were of soft bodied, mostly microscopic life. While fossil trilobite lenses are found by the thousands, the fossil record offers no evidence of lenses, or even of animals on which lenses could have been mounted, prior to the trilobites.   Atheistic evolutionist paleontologist Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of Natural History marvels:   “These lenses … optimize both light collecting and image formation better than any lens ever conceived. We can be justifiably amazed that these trilobites, very early in the history of life on Earth, hit upon the best possible lens design that optical physics has ever been able to formulate.”   No fossil evidence has been found of any dark spots or less evolved eyes, from which these most perfect lenses could have evolved. Instead, the evidence leads us to conclude that that God designed and created trilobite eyes on purpose to work well.   This conclusion is backed up by the fact that I have never found a single high school or college level textbook promoting evolution that reveals the trilobite lens evidence to the students. The text book authors that know about it, must understand, as I do, that it contradicts what they are teaching about eye evolution. They would not keep their students in the dark about the best lenses if they could use them to promote evolution.   When will the textbooks be corrected? Probably not until the facts become so well known that teachers will be embarrassed to teach the false science because some of their students already know the truth. You and I already know. Let’s tell as many as we can.     Books by Thomas F. Heinze Click here to get discount ordering information.
