Evolution versus The Human Body (Part 3 of 4)

Ah, Lake Tahoe. A gorgeous vacation paradise located in both Nevada and California. My wife and I got to go there a couple of years ago for free. What a place. God is good! For a city boy that grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, FL it's a world of magnificant spendor and design. The best vacation my wife and I ever had! Anyway, that's not my point. My point is the design of it all. Everywhere you look, you just have to stare and gawk.

The spendor and design of the human body is without equal anywhere in the known universe. Evolution says that we all evolved from - get this - "non-living matter." In other words, if you choose to believe in evolution, you must accept the fact that you...every part of you...as complex as you are, became living from non-living matter. And somehow, all your genetic code sort of just gathered together and kept evolving over time to make you what you are today...all from something that was never alive to begin with. Sounds far-fetched to me.

Now consider the magnificant spendor and design of the human eye:

As you focus on each word in this sentence, your eyes swing back and forth 100 times a second, and every second the retina performs 10 billion computer-like calculations. The eyes can perceive more than 1 million simultaneous visual impressions, are able to discriminate among nearly 8 million gradations of color, can distinguish about 500 different shades of gray, and take in more information than the world’s largest telescope. Each time the eye blinks, over 200 muscles move and you blink 25 times a minute or over 6 million times each year. The retina inside the eye covers about 650 square millimeters and contains some 137 million light-sensitive cells; 130 million rod cells for black and white vision and 7 million cone cells for color vision. To focus all this, the muscles of the eye move 100,000 times a day. An eye weighs 1.25 ounces. By the age of 60, our eyes have been exposed to more light energy than would be released by a nuclear blast. Sight accounts for 90 to 95 percent of all sensory perceptions.

You're smart. You tell me: Does it seem logical that all this detail and genetic code randomly came together from non-living matter and somehow kept gaining more genetic code (from where?) to produce your eyes which can do all the above says and more? Honestly, I don't think so.
