t was obvious from the beginning that the OP had certain qualities:
....
(3) Will not listen to any evidence brought up.
(4) At some point, will fall back to argument from incredulity.
(5) Declares victory and run away.
Actually, the OP has yet to make a second post to this thread. The tactics on display here belong to others.
My guess is that the original post was just proselytizing and that the OP does not intend to debate.

If you were a computer you would be a ZX81.
I don't understand the analogy. Those ZX81's were quite limited, but they computed logically and accurately.
IamJ is doing what IamJ always does. And apparently he just forgot that you aren't supposed to respond to moderators in the discussion forums. A ZX81 would never do that.

Because you believe we should see triangle shaped eyes whitout an opening for light, able to see sound waves
Well that kind of construction might be okay for echo location.

Re: No Substitute
Nothing wrong with going a few rounds with the heavy bag. But let's not confuse that work out with actually sparring.

The patterns of differences and similarities of eyes within and between groups of animals show EXACTLY THE SAME patterns of differences and similarities that we see when we group them based on other anatomical features.
We see the same nested hierarchies when we group them based on many different features.
Nicely said. This (and not the mere existence of diversity) is an argument for the theory of evolution.
An informed creationist might have done a better job of arguing that the nesting is a result of God's will in creating those animals. Of course, other evidence, such as the fossil record suggests that God did not actually create all of those animals at a single point in time, which kind of makes the effort not worthwhile (IMO).
Robert's arguments missed the mark because in many cases he did not know what animals have what kinds of eyes before he heard it here, and because he could believed he could predict what kind of eyes God would give creatures with some rather simplistic rules. He failed miserably, and his peers seem content to watch him go down in flames.
