Eye solution?

Darwin has a much-quoted statement about the eye.

In his work On the Origin of Species, he wrote: ‘To suppose that the eye … could have been formed by natural selection seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree’.1 He adds: ‘Yet reason tells me …’ that it must have happened by variations and natural selection. This was recently referred to again in an article in Scientific American by Trevor Lamb.2 He believes that he and his co-workers have solved this dilemma.

John Peet

In contrast, Bible-believers would quote the Psalmist: ‘He who formed the eye, does he not see?’3 It is clear that this verse is stating that the eye is not the result of non-directional evolution, but the intention of our God.
