ABSTRACT
The Eye and Evolution The eye is such a complicated organ that creationists have used it for many years as evidence against the theory of evolution, saying, “What use to an animal would an only half-developed eye be?” In his book The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins demolishes such arguments, showing that at every stage of the building of the mammalian eye, from a simple light-sensitive patch to its present complexity, the organ became steadily more useful to its owner, and moreover that every stage in that development is still extant, in creatures ranging from the earthworm to the eagle.
