That is a highly imaginative (though not very well-informed) scenario. I think that you will discover that in reality the location of these increasingly light and sound sensitive structures was settled long before they came to resemble modern eyes and ears.
Are you saying that the early species has light/sound sensitive cells all over their body and later concentrated to the positions we see today? This explanation brought the question a level further - What made some cells light sensitive, some sound sensitive? Do we know whether tears, eye lids, ear wax etc. were developed along with the eyes and ears.
The "cause" was randomly distributed variation exposed to natural selection over many generations.
Isn't "variation" effect?
I conclude that the clock is designed because I see evidence of human manufacture--what William Paley called "indications of contrivance." I see no such indications in living creatures. That does not mean design is not present, merely that it cannot be demonstrated.
@SelfSim
To make sure I got this correct, are you saying that you would conclude the clock has design only because you know (intelligent) humans exists? To put this another way, if you find a thing like mind reader or something, you will deny it has design because humans cannot create it?
Let us take these two points in the context of your reply.
1) If natural agents made one of the species, humans, so intelligent that they reached Moon and decoded DNA, could you deny the existence of a super intelligent species which became more intelligent than humans and they freed themselves from the physical world - transcended space and time, some sort of angels?
2) We don't know what 94% of the Universe is composed of. Cosmologists call this Dark Matter (44%) and Dark Energy (50%). If we don't know anything about , how do we know they exists? Well, dark matter was introduced to explain the seemingly faster movement of some stars in Andromeda galaxy; Dark energy to explain the expansion of the universe. Why can't we do a similar approach to the Evolution, call it "creator" ' or "intelligent mind" which induced order into the diversification of life
