sinequanon: There is NO research, let alone decades of research on whether 4 billion years IS LONG ENOUGH for a random process with selection to produce the variety of life we see. The hypothesis that it IS long enough is just gut feel by scientists. EVERYBODY is using gut feel....DUH! Get it now?
honourhim: We know the bible account of how the different languages/dialects of the world came to be so i dont need to go into it again. Now can the scientists/atheists provide us with their own account of how the various thousands of different languages/dialects across the world came to be?
Is this a joke? Out of curiosity how does the Babel story account for the word internet or cell phone?
sinequanon: It is not about goals. It is about probability.
If the probability of the eye evolving is so high, that it evolved independently several times, then why hasn't something apparently less complex, like infrared vision, evolved.
It didn't take a pre-established goal for the eye to evolve independently many times, did it?
Did you not understand the OP?
2 questions: - Why do you think the possible evolution of infrared vision is high probability event? - Does a high probability event have to happen?
sinequanon: If the eye evolved so easily, how come the ability to see infrared didn't evolve?
This would have conferred huge advantage on creatures that get hunted at night. They would be able to see their predators easily by the heat of their bodies.
All the framework is there to extend to infrared vision. Why didn't that happen?
(Edit: wait for the usual idiots and hypocrites to enter thread...)
Because evolution doesn't have any pre-established goals. Species without infrared vision are still capable of reproducing.
