To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.
Nice that he threw in an ad lapidum fallacy at the end of his incredulity fallacy. To paraphrase, the eye is irreducibly complex because (trigger alert: pun coming) I don't see it, and besides, it's absurd to believe what I can't see.
The eye is one of the best known examples of an allegedly irreducibly complex system that has been refuted. All such claims to date have been refuted (eye, flagellum, immune system, clotting cascade). This video will define irreducible complexity for you and explain why the human (or any other) eye is not irreducibly complex:
Like you, I'm a simiform, which is the infraorder comprising moneys and apes, but not a monkey. Monkeys have tails, are generally smaller, and walk along the upper surface of tree limbs, and leap from tree to tree, whereas apes tend to brachiate (swing from under branches). Also, when on the ground, monkeys tend to run on all fours, whereas apes are generally upright or knuckle dragging. You don't leave the simiform or the hominoid club (apes separate from monkeys) by denying that you are one.
All this shows is common design in that there are similarities in physical traits
As was foretold by Darwin. The theory predicts and explains that commonality.
in no way does this prove humans evolved from apes, that’s not a fact
Settled science. All that remains is to identify which extinct apes are ancestral and which are cousins.
science gets caught with the fraud, ex. Piltdown man
That fraud was not perpetrated by science. It was debunked by science. Science is the study of what is true and real. It's looking at that shroud to identify possible fraud there.
ape to man took how long?
Do you assimilate anything you read here? I don't mean agree with it, I mean learn what it says and what others believe. It seems not. I would bet the farm that everybody in conversation with you here knows what you believe, because it is reflected in their words to you. They understand that you do not consider human beings apes. Why doesn't that happen with you? Why does your writing not reflect that you understand that the people you are writing to consider man a type of ape?
human civilization and activity shows up rather quickly not gradually over millions of years like evolutionists believe.
I guess you don't what the theory of biological evolution is or what it professes, either. Neither humanity nor civilization existed millions of years ago, and what we know about that comes from archeology, not biology.
