Atheism 27.The Eye

Creationist seem to think the eye is some kind of special case - it is - it is an exemplary example of their ignorance and illogic.
All of cellular biology is subject to the same evolution - all that is different as far as the eye is concerned is what type of cells happen to have evolved - the fact that the eye does a specialised job is not unique in the body - indeed neurons that process thought might be a better indication of specialisation.
Creationists cannot seem to see (which is apt considering they see the eye as a special case) why it is that systems can self organise. If they were to take a look at John Conway's LIFE or many computer simulations they would see that this sort of spontaneous self organisation is written into chemistry and all they do by pointing to the eye as a special case is heighten the indication of their own ignorance.
