Evolution
Location of organs. But if the evolutionist _could_ convince the
thoughtful student that the marvelous eye could have been so formed, by
blind chance or natural selection, how could he account for the
advantageous location of the eye and other organs? While we can not
well name a fraction small enough to express the mathematical
probability of the formation of the eye, the ear, and other organs of
the body, we easily can compute the fraction of the probability of
their location, though very small. In the passage quoted from Darwin,
he begins with the simple eye, but does not say how the eye originated.
Hon. William J. Bryan in his book, “In His Image,” p. 97, says, “But
how does the evolutionist explain the eye, when he leaves God out? Here
is the only guess that I have seen,—if you find any others, I shall be
glad to know of them, as I am collecting the guesses of the
evolutionists. The evolutionist guesses that there was a time when eyes
were unknown—that is a necessary part of the hypothesis. And since the
eye is a universal possession, among living things, the evolutionist
guesses that it came into being,—not by design or act of God—I will
give you the guess,—a piece of pigment, or as some say, a freckle,
appeared upon the skin of an animal that had no eyes. This piece of
pigment or freckle converged the rays of the sun upon that spot, and
when the little animal felt the heat on that spot, it turned the spot
to the sun to get more heat. This increased heat irritated the skin,—so
the evolutionists guess—and a nerve came there and out of the nerve
came the eye. Can you beat it? But this only accounts for one eye;
there must have been another piece of pigment or freckle soon
afterward, and just in the right place in order to give the animal two
eyes.”
