I first came across this article years ago about the human eye. "A camera lens has never been developed anywhere that comes near the inconceivable intricacy of the human eye. The human eye is an amazing interrelated system of about forty individual subsystems, including the retina, pupil, iris, cornea, lens, and optic nerve. It has more to it than just the 137 million light-sensitive special cells that send messages to the unbelievably complex human brain. About 130 million of these cells look like tiny rods, and they handle the black and white vision. The other 7 million are cone shaped and allow us to see in color. The retina cells receive light impressions, which are then translated into electric pulses and sent directly to the brain through the optic nerve. A special section of the brain called the visual cortex interprets the pulses as color, contrast and depth which then allows us to see “pictures” of our world. Incredibly, the eye, optic nerve, and visual cortex are totally separate and distinct subsystems. Yet together they capture, deliver, and interpret up to 1.5 million pulse messages per millisecond! Think about that for a moment. It would take dozens of computers programmed perfectly and operating and linked together flawlessly to even get close to performing this task." The eye is according to biologists, is an example of what is referred to as “irreducible complexity.” That is, if you remove any one of the forty subsystems, the whole could not have developed to the completed functional seeing eye, of the complexity we now know it to be. Those forty individual subsystems provide no advantage to the whole until the very last state of development, where it all comes together. Think of this, how could the lens, retina, optic nerve, and all the other parts that play a role in seeing not only appear from nothing, but "evolve" into perfectly interrelated and working parts? To say that the eye just "happened" all without a Designer, is ridiculous. The eye is truly one of the wondrous works of Him which is perfect in knowledge. Job 37:14 says, "Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God."
