Evolution of the eye

 The Eye

DNA is coded at the macro-level to build eyes, yes but at the micro-level DNA is used to form cells.

You’re taking the human eye and removing the lens, which for a human would be detrimental. However, what science proposes is that our eyes started as light sensitive cells, which developed focus, by naturally selecting for depressions at the sight of the cell. These changes were advantageous to the world our ancestors were living in at that time So when you talk about a human with no lenses, that’s not what scientists are suggesting. Our eyes evolved very early on. Fish have eyes and if evolution is correct we should see different complexities of eyes in marine creatures and we do.

The first is a pigment spot of light sensitive cells, which sea urchins and sea worms use.

The second are pigment cups of light sensitive cells which help to determine which direction the light is coming from.

The third is a mollusk eye with a deeper cup to more accurately determine the direction of light.

The fourth is an eye with a primitive lens which we find in jellyfish and primitive jawless fish.

Complex eyes arose very early on probably because the ability to understand your surroundings would be so imperative to survival.

Now if these eyes didn’t exist and exist in gradual correspondence to the complexity of that life-form, I might feel differently about the likelihood for the eye to have naturally evolved.

So science does have an explanation. You may not be convinced but that doesn’t mean they have their reasons.

Astrology

Astrology, involves the forecasting of earthly and human events through the observation and interpretation of the fixed stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets.  (Read their star sign, the wrong one) Scientists label astrology as a pseudo-science. Pseudo means not real or fake. Therefore, scientists believe astrology to be a fake science.  The reason for this is that the claims made lack the ability to be tested; its predictions are often vague and unfalsifiable. Scientists don't believe the claims of astrology can be explained or tested accurately. Predictions are often vague.  Two horoscopes from different sources Different signs apply to you?

Werewolves

Ancient Stories of Werewolves  The Arcadian royal family, however, is the source of the most well-known story. King Lycaon and his fifty sons, who were infamous for their impiety, reportedly incensed Zeus when they fed him a dinner prepared by a slaughtered child. The Roman poet Ovid recounts in his Metamorphoses that Zeus punished Lycaon by transforming him into a wolf. This story is a prime example of ancient Greek mythology’s recurring subject of divine punishment and change. Written around 2100 BC, the Epic of Gilgamesh, gives us the earliest surviving example of man-to-wolf transformation. Ishtar, the goddess of fertility, love, and war, is in love with the hero Gilgamesh and thus flirts with him. Gilgamesh rejects her advances because he has heard of how badly she treated her previous suitors. One suitor in particular, a young shepherd who had fallen in love with the goddess, comes to mind. This shepherd left Ishtar abundant offerings at a mountain shrine. Ishtar ...

Geology

Early explanation for fossils  In the 4th century BCE Aristotle made critical observations of the slow rate of geological change. He observed the composition of the land and formulated a theory where the Earth changes at a slow rate and that these changes cannot be observed during one person's lifetime. Aristotle developed one of the first evidence-based concepts connected to the geological realm regarding the rate at which the Earth physically changes. He realized that coastlines change. Sea arches collapse and turn to sea stacks. The shorelines move but it happens so slowly one man can't observe it in his lifetime. Many people believed that fossils grew underground.  They called them 'the devil's toesnails' or tongue stones.
