When you look at words in a mirror, why are they reversed left to right, but not top to bottom? What's special about the horizontal axis? If science understood how the world really worked, than surely reflections would be reversed in either both axes or neither!













And yes, I read XKCD this morning.

Because that's the axis JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD was crucified on!

If science understood how the world really worked, than surely reflections would be reversed in either both axes or neither!
The foolish heathen would point out with positively Satanic calmness and clarity, that objects in mirrors reflect front-to-back, not up-down or left-right. But this is just a commie lie!

And yes, I read XKCD this morning.
Damn you!

This is your proof against evolution? How is this in any way related to ToE?
Please read,

Why do mirrors reverse right and left but not up and down? « Division by Zero

I know you're just joking, but mirrors don't reflect left to right. The reflect front to back.

If you are facing north and hold out your right arm, your arm is pointing east. Your reflection's arm is also pointing east.

But you are facing north and your reflection is facing south. So front and back are reflected, not left and right.

Why is the sky blue? Because God(The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit) created color, an Immaterial property, which gets looked differently when there's light.

No, that would be one explanation for the existence of the phenomenon of color, not why the sky appears blue to human visual perception. The answer to that has to do with refraction and wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. It's called optics.

yes this is proof evolution is bonus since images doesn't exist outside the mind. So how did blind watchmaker know if it designed an eye the complex images that we "see" would be the result. It's the same that images and sound doesn't exist on a DVD without a DVD player and a TV.

What do you mean sound doesn't exist without a DVD player? I think that evolution koolaid is rotting your brain!
As I wrote sounds doesn't exist on a DVD without a DVD player to decode it. Then the DVD player send another code (HDMI) to the HDTV which decodes that signal finally creates the image on screen and sound through the speakers.

PS Here is an illusion to point out your "see" colors with your brain and not with your eyes. http://www.moillusions.com/2006/03/disappearing-dots.html
Here the pink dots disappears while you will see a green dot that's not really there. It's all about how the brain processes the information coming from your eyes. (of course it's unnatural not to move your eyes)

The eye developed through random mutations mediated by natural selection: those which conferred an advantage were passed on.

For instance, the mutation of a protein that exothermically breaks down in the presence of light would create a rudimentary 'eye'. From there it's easy to develop specialised organs to take advantage - a shallow pit creates shadow, giving a sense of direction. A deep pit and a closed-off lid are just extensions of this 'shallow pit' mechanic. Further mutations in the pigments allow them to react to different wavelengths of light, giving colour vision. Muscles in the skin can change how big or small the pinhole is, giving the ability to focus on depth. Bilateral symmetry places this on both sides, allowing the evolution of stereoscopic or binocular vision. Etc, etc, etc.

At no point is there any overarching intelligence that knows what the end product will be. Evolution does not have foresight. Thus, each stage must be - and, indeed, is - a gradual improvement over the last. It doesn't matter if no intelligence knows it's an improvement, all that matters is that it is an improvement, and so it will flourish in the population.

This is why evolution is bogus since in order to "see images" it require foresight.

Does "feel heat" require foresight?
Does "taste salt" require foresight?
Does "hear sound" require foresight?
Does "digest food" require foresight?
Does "respond to external stimuli" require foresight?

Why? Random mutations in a structure either are, or are not, a beneficial improvement over the previous instance of that structure. Which mutations are beneficial or not is a selection made by the natural environment - natural selection.

At what point is foresight required? Where along that chain of events does it break down?
