The Eye: the product of an evolutionary process

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

From today’s fascinating Pharyngula article, The eye as a contingent, diverse, complex product of evolutionary processes:

… the clumsy organization of the eye clearly indicates that it is the product of an evolutionary process rather than of any kind of intelligent design.

What we find in molecular biology is flexibility and modularity, attributes that lend themselves well to combinatorial changes that can easily increase complexity—a complexity that is a hallmark of unguided evolutionary change, not design.
