Flatworms have prominent eyespots. These constitute the flatworm's most prominent sensory organs. However, while the eyespots resemble eyes, the organs are much more simple. Eyespots consist of a single layer of photosensitive cells. The photosensitive cells contain a pigment that reacts to light, and signal nerve cells when they do so. The eyespots have no lenses to focus images. Due to their simplicity, eye spots cannot produce images. Instead, the eyespots can only tell light from dark.

An interesting thread.
What are your thoughts on this?

So you say that evolution is impossible based on your lack of understanding of evolutionary processes. Awesome, glad we clarified that.

The first mammals were small marsupial mice. These evolved into everything from large cats to elephants, apes and humans.

Actually , the Laws of Probability and Statistics state it would be a near impossibility . One would have to take the chances of one genetic change that led to one good mutation . This occurs normally , yet an near impossibly low chances. Then you would have to extrapolate over the near infinite number of positive genetic changes that would have had to occur for humankind to develop.
And, you would have to rule out Mendel's work as that was genetic mutation induced by non-natural means.
I believe one must know before they post of someone else's lack of understanding of any scientific related process.
you are looking at humans and saying what is the probability to create them from the first spark of life, and if you start with an end product then you are right

First , one has to have some knowledge of the science of Probability and Statistics
Yet , you have just admitted the correctness of my statements.
As you would have to account for changes brought about by other positive mutations of other flora and fauna.
And , why look to the future ? All you have to do is look to the past...

Maybe I read your post wrong, I'm not sure where you stand on all this...lol
Are you for intelligent design or random action?

Neither and/or both at this time
I dont look for "a team" to join. I understand the reasoning behind folks doing so.....
I consider science and math
