Thank God for my eyes without which I won't be able to watch this great video.

Romans 1:20-23, “For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—are clearly seen, being understood through the things he has made, so that they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became futile in their reasoning, and their heart, devoid of understanding, became darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image resembling corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed animals, and reptiles.”

I think here's one difference I see between believers and atheists; a believer looks at the eye scientifically, and praises God. an atheist looks at the eye scientifically, and praises their self.

God is so intelligent. Thank you, Lord.

[abdoulazizhassana]

Thank you!
Every engineer and every expert in his field know in his heart that the universe is designed.

What a beautiful Creation 😍 SubhanALLAH
سبحان الله الخالق كل شيء ❤️

I hope that one day, we can find only science in the science books and not story of evolution. sooner or later they will confess that their beloved theory was only a story which was only helpful for comic books writers :))
great job and keep going! you're enlightening people after a new dark age.

Cephalopod eyes are designed for use underwater so their sensors face directly to the light source to gather as much light as possible in the water. Also, there is evidence that they are colour blind!
In bright Sunlight, such a design would get overloaded or burn out the sensors.
Hence why Vertebrate eyes are designed to have extra protection from bright sunlight.
Some light is reflected off the back of the eye but most has some filtering done on it before it gets to the sensors.

An analogy would be Telescope types - Reflectors V Refractors.

As for the various eye ailments that modern humans have, recent research has shown that much of it is linked to our lifestyles & diet. Especially studying indoors!

Referencing Darwin with the advances we have made in science is analogous to asking a 2-year-old child to explain how as a laser works. Darwin thought the human cell was a globule of nothingness as the electron microscope hadn't been invented. If he had known what we know now - that there are complex factories operating inside every one of the trillion cells in our body, he would have abandoned his own theory.

Years ago, a Scientific American article addressed the question about the wiring of the eye, which instead of sending the signals out the back of the retina, sends information toward the light source. Then, there's a blind spot where the optic nerve routes through the retina on it's way to the brain. Materialists say no first-year engineering student would ever design a system like that.

Actually, the article explained that processing of the information doesn't begin in the visual cortex. Filtering through adjoining light-sensing cells allows pattern recognition before the data leaves the retina. If anyone is able to find that article, please post it here.

Matthew 13 : 16
_But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear._

[NickHawaii]

If people would just open their eyes they could see that there is no way our precious eyes happened by chance. No way.

[vargon]

Years ago there was an article in Scientific American that explained how the signals from the photo receptors are affected by their neighbors' signals in a way that allows information filtering to take place even before those signals leave the eye through the optic nerve on the way to the visual cortex.
So the arrangement is not a flaw, it is an enhancement.
I got tired of Scientific American when it increasingly began to become "Popular Scientific Mythology."
In an article about how to build a time machine by having a rapidly spinning flywheel behind your chair that gained mass when the speed of the wheel approached the speed of light. The author speculated that a loop might be formed in spacetime that would allow you to travel back in time. Commenting on whether you could take modern tech back to the past, he said that would not be possible because information can not come from nowhere. "Except, " He explained, "in the case of evolution."

When you see a bridge, a building or an automobile, you automatically consider the person or company that constructed it. When you see a large ship, an airplane, a rocket, a satellite; you also think about how incredible it is. [You know by its design who the maker is.] When you see a super international airport, nuclear plant or an orbiting space station you have to be thoroughly impressed with the engineering dynamics that are involved. Yet, these are just things that are manufactured by human beings. So what about the human body with its massive and intricate control systems? Think about it.

Think about the brain: how it thinks, functions, analyzes, retrieves and stores information, as well as distinguishes and categorizes information in a millionth of a second, all of this constantly.

Think about the brain for a moment. (And don't forget the fact that you are using your brain to consider itself!) This is the brain that made the automobile, the rocket ships, the boats, and so on. Think about the brain and who made that!

Think about the heart. Think about how it pumps continuously for sixty or seventy years [taking in and discharging blood throughout the body] maintaining steady precision throughout the life of the person.

Think about the kidneys and the liver and the various functions they perform. The purifying instruments of the body that perform hundreds of chemical analyses simultaneously and also controls the level of toxicity in the content of the body. All of these are done automatically.

Think about your eyes, the human cameras, that adjust, focus, interpret, evaluate, discern color automatically, naturally receiving and adjusting to light and distance.

Think about it-Who created them? Who has mastered their design and function? Who plans and regulates their function? Human beings do this? No, of course not. What about this universe?

Think about this. This earth is one planet in our solar system, and our solar system is one [of possible many] solar systems. Our galaxy, The Milky Way, is one of the galaxies. According to NASA research, there are more than one hundred billion galaxies in our observable universe. They are all in order and they are all precise. They are not conflicting with on another. They are swimming along in an orbit that has been set for them. Did human beings set that into motion and are human beings maintaining that precision? No, of course not.

Think about the oceans, the fish, the insects, the birds, the plants, bacteria, and chemical elements that have not yet been discovered and cannot be detected even with the most sophisticated instruments. Yet each of them has a law that they follow. Did all of this synchronization, balance, harmony, variation, design, maintenance, operation and infinite numeration happen all by chance? Do these things function perfectly and perpetually also by chance? No, of course not. That would be totally illogical and foolish. In the least, it indicates that however it came to exist-it exists beyond the realm of human capability. We will all agree to that. The Being, The Almighty Power, God, The Creator who has the knowledge to design and proportion created all of this and is responsible for maintaining it. HE is the only one that deserves praise and gratitude.

If I were to give you one hundred dollars for no reason, just for posting here, you would at least say thank you. What about your eyes, your kidneys, your brain, your children, and your life: Who gave you all of that? Is He not worthy of praise and thanks? Is He not worthy of your worship and recognition?

That in a nutshell, is the goal and purpose of this life. Allah (الله The Only One God, Creator and Sustainer of the Universe) said to us in the Holy Quran: "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." [Surah 51: Ayah 56] this is what the Allah (الله The Only One God, Creator and Sustainer of the Universe) said.

The Qur’an provides a powerful argument for God’s existence: “Or were they created by nothing? Or were they the creators [of themselves]? Or did they create the heavens and Earth? Rather, they are not certain.” The Qur’an, Chapter 52, Verses 35 and 36.

Our purpose in this life is to recognize The Creator, to be grateful to Him, to worship Him, to surrender ourselves to Him and to obey the laws that He has determined for us. It means worship is our purpose in life. Whatever we do in the course of that worship, [i.e., the eating, the sleeping, the dressing, the working, the enjoying, ] between birth and death is consequential and subject to His orders. But the main reason for our creation is worship.

I don't think anyone who is analytical or scientific will have much of an argument with that purpose. They may have some other reason with themselves-but that is something they have to deal with between themselves and Allah (الله The Only One God, Creator and Sustainer of the Universe).

Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus (our intelligent designer) and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead and you will be saved!

[mikescott]

I have been a Creationist more than 45 years and have found nothing to change my mind!

[theoneaboveall]

The problem with Intelligent Design is that each person then wants to apply it to the religion that best suits there interest.

[stephenbender]

The evolutionist will say the eye is flawed but never say that the brain is flawed since that would put their thinking in jeopardy.

[sabah]

many complex wonders, there is a Creator!

[gregormann]

I’m to the point where few things annoy me more than the respectful, deferential attitude continually shown to people clinging to a theory that truly is “absurd to the highest possible degree.” Or patently absurd, as atheist philosopher Thomas Nagel admits. Note to Dawkins fans: there is a reason why it all appears to be designed for a purpose. And I would like to suggest that it is far past the time for ID to take off the gloves.

The only “evolution” that is related to FACTS is that which breeders knew all about before Darwin learned his ABC’s. But all that extrapolation into the distant past is nothing but clever equivocation in service of a massive ruse. In short, the Periodic Table of Elements is not our Heavenly Father.
