“The more we document the marvels of design in ourselves and nature in general the more absurd the idea becomes this was all a product of chance. No one would dare think that the TV we watch or the computer we use arose by chance but there are those who think the human eye, far more complicated in design, was a product of random chance mistakes and mutations over millions of years … ridiculous. This quote from George Orwell is apropos for those teaching such nonsense:   “Some things are so foolish that only an intellectual could believe them, for no ordinary man could be such a fool.”  Admin

The tiny computer chip – the basis of modern computers – is a thin wafer of silicon only about 7 millimeters across – about one fourth of an inch. This tiny chip might have the equivalent of 100,000 transistors built into it. Despite its size, hundreds of connections might be attached to it. The design of the computer chip is a marvel surpassed only by the amazing technology that can build it.

If you were to find a silicon chip laying in the silicon sand at the beach (which would be quite an accomplishment because they are so small!), you would never be able to convince even one engineer that the chip had formed through the chance movements of all that silicon based sand!

Now consider the human eye. The retina at the back of the eye is a very thin membrane, much thinner than even the clingiest food wrap. This retina contains not transistors but much more sophisticated photo receptors, each of which is a high gain amplifier. The retina doesn’t have 100,000 of these, but rather it has 200,000 for each square millimeter of retina!
