Re: Some of your assumptions may be wrong.
Hypothetically speaking in an evolutionary world that contained absoloutely no light then the creatures there would have not developed eyes. Correct?
Not at all.
The changes that happen are totally random. They are not directed or moving towards some goal or solution. They chance of eyes developing in a world with no light is exactly the same as in a world with light.
I assuume you know this is BS, Jar........there would be no benefit of having eyes for creatures who could never use them, and therefore they would have no effect on natural selection.
Not to mention that even a small photosensitive spot, let alone a whole eye, is irreducibly complex anyway........so the odds of it evolving in the first place are pretty shitty, ESPECIALLY when it wouldn't present any selection benefit.
