Darwin and Evolution of the Eye
QUESTION: What did Darwin say about the Evolution of the Eye?
ANSWER:
When it comes to the evolution of the eye, Charles Darwin made the following declaration:
“To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”
This is a profound statement that stands on its own when we view the human eye with the latest in scientific and technological tools.
