Okay, sure: how does an incredibly complex organ which transmits light waves into electrical impulses that the brain can piece together into something the organism can see, arise with no intelligence whatsoever?Perhaps if you asked properly. You are assuming that there is "design". Would you care to ask again without using leading questions?
You still have a problem of getting that replicator to assemble first.
No, you must be honest and admit that life simply could not have evolved. You must admit that we were created. Then we can discuss Genesis. You see how the tables turn?And moving the goalposts again. If you want to discuss abiogenesis, you first have to be honest enough to admit that life evolved. These are two different problems.

I believe that intelligence is needed for something so intelligently crafted to be able to exist.Why do you think that an intelligence is needed in the first place. You don't need one to see right now, aside from your own that is.
Okay, well I'll wait patiently then. In the mean time, can anyone else explain how the brain and eye evolved together to transmit light into electrical signals that are translated by the brain into an image the organism can perceive?When you are ready to slow down and to read and understand the answers given to your I will answer this question. Right now you are frantically grasping at straws. I would be wasting my time if I explained this to you right now.
Every organ has a purpose in the system we call 'organism'.
An organism is an organised bunch of interdependent systems.
it is made up of high end nano technological units we call cells.
It is irreducibly complex on many levels.
From eco system to organelles.
You have yet to provide the evidence that the evolution of the eye is even possible.You are simply being dishonest and ignoring the evidence again. When you say that the Genesis account is true you are claiming that God lied. The evidence, which would have been created by God too, all says that life evolved. Even when I was a Christian I knew that it was blasphemy to say that God lied so I accepted the reality of evolution.
I simply don't believe any eye of any sort can arise from evolutionary processes.
Reality is not required to conform to yours either. Address this if you can:Reality is not required to conform to your beliefs.
One big problem I see with evolution is that all the parts of life fit together. The eye doesn't work without the brain, and the brain doesn't work without the heart, and the heart doesn't work without the rest of the body. Cells don't work without DNA, and DNA doesn't work without cells. How does the evolutionary perspective explain this?

Care to explain how our eyes came to be without a designer? How design arises from chaos?

This is only a discussion of the diversity present within the animal kingdom: He fails to explain where these cones and optic nerves come from. Mutations, I assume?Darwin already explained it.
"In the Articulata we can commence a series with an optic nerve merely coated with pigment, and without any other mechanism; and from this low stage, numerous gradations of structure, branching off in two fundamentally different lines, can be shown to exist, until we reach a moderately high stage of perfection. In certain crustaceans, for instance, there is a double cornea, the inner one divided into facets, within each of which there is a lens shaped swelling. In other crustaceans the transparent cones which are coated by pigment, and which properly act only by excluding lateral pencils of light, are convex at their upper ends and must act by convergence; and at their lower ends there seems to be an imperfect vitreous substance. With these facts, here far too briefly and imperfectly given, which show that there is much graduated diversity in the eyes of living crustaceans, and bearing in mind how small the number of living animals is in proportion to those which have become extinct, I can see no very great difficulty (not more than in the case of many other structures) in believing that natural selection has converted the simple apparatus of an optic nerve merely coated with pigment and invested by transparent membrane, into an optical instrument as perfect as is possessed by any member of the great Articulate class."--Charles Darwin, "Origin of Species"

Every system is irreducibly complex.Prove it. So far all of Behe's claims of irreducible complexity have been refuted.
You have not shown there is a logical reason to believe that we evolved.Yes, we know that. But you have not shown a logical reason for you to believe that.

Our eyes were created perfect, but ever since sin we have had to deal with death and decay. But, you don't believe that, and there is nothing I can do to prove to you it is the case.
