"Dr." Jorge claimed in another thread:
"Oh, so NOW you get why God designed this the way He did. NOW you realize that it wasn't a "bad design" as you had boasted as a Pro-Evolutionary argument for all those decades. NOW you can make a public retraction!"
No retraction - a very simple way to improve on the 'design' of the eye:
The axons of the retinal cells converge and exit as a bundle through the optic disc, more commonly called the BLIND SPOT. it is called the BLIND SPOT because as the optic nerve forms and plunges through the retina, it creates a region where there are no photoreceptors at all. Blind.*
The axons could just as easily radiate toward the periphery of the retina, curl over the edge of it, and extend behind the retina to converge to form the optic nerve.
No blind spot.
I have thus bested the Yahweh and his haphazard 'design".
*Sure, the YEC can always claim that the blind spot is accommodated for by a neurological 'copy/paste' system. but that simply increases the requisite complexity and increases the risks of error. Simpler designs are better. Fail Yahweh.
