Evolution question?

Question

How do does evolution explain the complexity of the eye? I mean bacteria doesn't have eyes and if chemical reactions created us then how did it exist if there was no eye to search for food or scavenge around while evolving? Did the monkey just mate with a raccoon and happen to give birth to a human because it couldn't see?

Yay free points for you michelle!!!

Answer 1

Do you want a real answer or was this just an attempt to be snotty?

The eye is actually easily explained. The eye didn't just appear overnight. Organisms with light sensing areas on their body were able to thrive more than those who did not have them. Then via mutation, the light sensing area became more developed and those with a more developed light sensing area, were able to survive above those who did not have one. As the light sensing mechanism became more sensitive via evolution/mutation, it became specialized and eventually became the eyes that we know and use today.

And why is this in the religion section? This is certainly more of a science question. . .

Answer 2

You aren't very bright (had you ever typed 'evolution' into Google, you wouldn't be asking this), but I won't waste your time with that.

While we aren't wasting time, I'm just going to make some very quick points:
Conditions breed evolution, so over the millenia humans have adapted from single-celled organisms into what we are today because of the conditions we live in and how we've evolved.

Evolution isn't caused by 'chemical reaction', it's caused by necessity.

There are others ways of getting food other than looking for it.

It is genetically impossible for a monkey to naturally mate with a raccoon, and were it possible a human would not be the result. Sight is irrelevant in your analogy.

Answer 3

Poor thing, not having the IQ to do basic research. Fish at the bottom of the ocean have no eyes, because there is no light there. The eye just measures light. So they can mate with their species OK. When all life was in the water, none had eyes, then some fish developed light sensors that were primitive eyes, which over time became modern human eyes. There are still fish with no eyes, and they use other senses....Wait. Are you saying blind things mate with other species? What about blind people? They have sex, and do not need someone to say, oh no don't have sex with her, she is a raccoon.

Answer 4

That arguement has been tried before. It's usually used by the ill-educated.
We have AMPLE proof of the evolution of the eye.
How's this one;
Do you wear glasses? Or does anyone else you know wear glasses? Hmm I wonder why since, by your reconing a perfect being "designed" it? Why then would it be designed to fail?
The fact is, we are no longer hunters (well a small minority is and even then only once or twice a year) we have evolved past the need for perfect vision.
so please, if you're going to use an argument at least make it one that hasn't been thoroughly dismissed already. Ok?
Thanks.

Answer 5

registrations001 has the simplest answer, let me complicate it by saying that when organisms reproduce their dna is not perfectly the same as it was before, and so new useless things may appear on an organism, as well as things that turn out to be useful like light senstive skin.

Their dna not being perfect could be caused by many factors, like radiation, or chemical reactions, or in the case of non-asexual reproduction, the way 2 strands of dna are combined to form a new strand of dna (that's how we get our traits such as differences in height and hair color).

How about this, we say we created the automobile. But the automobile is a bunch of combined discoverys, such as explosive energy, and metal. Ideas happen to us by observing patterns in the world, and then we apply those ideas and discover they work together, to create something new. But that creation did not come from us alone, it came from the world itself. Our mind is a womb in that sense, and the observations of the world plants seeds in our mind and we carry those things until they are ready to be born, then after that it's natural selection, does this thing I created survive the world or not. And now we have automobiles!

So what does that have to do with this? Like I said I just wanted to complicate things :)

Answer 6

If you ask about that, you have to ask about the complexity of any of our organs, or our entire system, or that of any animal. Necessity is the mother of adaptation and evolution. It takes a while, but genetic memory for what was needed and what was not for survival and perpetuation of the species will alter things to a lesser or greater degree as needed.

That's the simple version, anyway.

Answer 7

Oh, good, I can be the first direct non-sarcastic answer!
It cannot. Evolution is a theory and has not ever been solidly proven. I refuse to believe or subscribe to the belief that I came from some random primordeal ooze.
An omnicient, omnipresent Creator lovingly designed me "on purpose" and I will be forever thankful for that.
For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Thy works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from Thee, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Thy book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them. (Psalms 139:13-16)

Answer 8

Your question was actually a good one until the last part. Why do you have to throw in the smart@ss BS at the end? This is what tells me you aren't serious and don't really want an answer. So I'm going to take the points and leave. lol

Answer 9

No. It probably took millions of years for organisms to to evolve and develop eyes. But frankly, what you said seems more probable to me than God just creating humans out of a rib or some shi*

Answer 10

its not like evolution happened and BOOM there was an eye or BOOM we walked on lane or BOOM we look the way we are. evolution and dealing with the eye probably wasnt a bacteria that had an eye, but an animal that needed sight to survive and after many (couple thousand) and eye developed
