The summary of my positions on the two points are:
1. There are simpler systems. I'll save them for the "real" debate.
2. Each component can be useful in its own right, and thus do not need to all arise at once to be useful. Thus, "simultaneous emergence" is not an issue.
In a nutshell. Do you want to debate here (or rather, the Evolution of the Eye thread) or in a forum free from interference, to insure a focused debate? That seemed to be a concern of yours, and sometimes a structured format is helpful in discussion.

I can't wait to see what you call "simpler".
2. Each component can be useful in its own right, and thus do not need to all arise at once to be useful. Thus, "simultaneous emergence" is not an issue.
You're already in trouble and don't even know it.
You may present your 'case' first.

Definitely in an interference-free environment. Interference is my main objection. Let me know where you end up and how to find it.

It sounds like Joralex is signing on (starting after the 17th, if I remember correctly). So, is a Great Debate topic gonna happen?
