You would have to demonstrate this with scientific references, and not based on your intentional ignorance of science.

Evolution flaw or god flaw.. Blind spot in the eyes

The eye compensates, and there is no blind spot in your vision.
Yes, it compensates
Which implies there is something to compensate for
I actually think that is much more amazing than it would be were there no blindspot
We are not machines designed for perfection. Humans as well as all animals compensate to adapt to their wolrd,
We simply do not have a blind spot in our vision.
What you think is meaningless. Let's go with the objective verifiable evidence of science demonstrates it is other properties of the eye that determines how well it functions and what we see,
Calling this a "flaw" is dubious. It's merely a
structure that causes no problem because
the brain fills in the missing info. Are there
better ways to construct an eye & the
brain that interprets light entering the eye?
That would be a tough argument to make.
Vision is a complex relationship between
light entering the eye, what the eye sends
down the optic nerve, & what the brain does
with that info for us to experience vision.
They're all different versions of reality in our
visible world. We "see" (ie, experience) the
brain's highly processed version of reality.
It's a more useful version than the mere light
entering the eye. It's an efficient system that
avoids the need for far more brain processing
power.

Illusion Reveals that the Brain Fills in Peripheral Vision
What we see in the periphery, just outside the direct focus of the eye, may sometimes be a visual illusion, research shows.

If God the Creator exists, he is the one who designed the Laws of Nature that govern everything including evolution. Thus, anything that comes about via evolution is indirectly the responsibility of God, including blind spots.We all have a blind spot in our eyes. Is it a god flaw or evolution flaw?
"Your retina is made up of light-sensitive cells which send messages to your brain about what you see. Everyone has a spot in their retina where the optic nerve connects. In this area there are no light-sensitive cells so this part of your retina can't see. We call this the blind spot."

Are you serious? Are you actually maintaining that our blind spots don't exist?
You can find your own blind spot by using the test on this site: https://www.arvo.org/globalassets/arvo/advocacy/advocacy-resources/illusions/blind-spot-flyer.pdf
You need to understand in the evolutionary process there is no going backwards. What I mean by that is there is no way to disconnect the optic nerve to rewire it in a different way. Evolution can only make minor changes that are either an advantage, or neutral to the function of the eye. Evolution cannot engage in a major remodeling process.We all have a blind spot in our eyes.

An analogy for this would be remodeling your kitchen. Anyone who has done that knows that things get a lot worse before they get better, you rip out the cabinets and the counter, redo the wiring etc. So for a while you have no counter, no cabinets, and maybe no electricity in your kitchen. But this is ok because you know the end product will be an improvement. But evolution does not work that way, there is no "end product", there is no plan. It can't go though a worse stage to get to a better one. Evolution does not plan ahead like that.
Testing for a blind spot does not change anything. Bifocal eyes compensate so that when using both eyes we do not have a blind spot in our vision.

It is an absolute fact that we have a blind spot in each eye, and that our brains "fill in" the missing area (and not always correctly, as the test shows) It has nothing to do with our eyes being bifocal. I provided the test for you so that you could literally see this for yourself. But it looks like this is a case of "Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up."
Our binocular vision compensates for the Blind spot so it is not visible. Sorry for poor word choice.
Blind Spot
At the back of your eye is the retina. Your retina is made up of light-sensitive cells which send messages to your brain about what you see. Everyone has a spot in their retina where the optic nerve connects. In this area there are no light-sensitive cells so this part of your retina can’t see. We call this the blind spot.
Most of the time you don’t notice your blind spot because the spot in one eye doesn’t match the spot in the other eye. Each eye supplies information to the brain, filling in what’s missing.
