Re: Eyes issue
Vlad writes:
The thing is the box jellyfish possesses amazingly elaborate eyes while it has no brain at all, and so this bizarre creature, in fact, cannot perceive the images generated by its eyes. Indeed, we see rather with our brains than with our eyes. After all, a photographic camera lens properly builds images, yet the device does not see anything.
Well, what would Darwinists invent in order to elucidate the strange case of Tripedalia cystophora eyes? Has non-random NS tooled box jellyfish up with the excellent yet absolutely useless eyes?
I'm not a biologist, or scientist.
But I also don't understand the point you're trying to make.
What's strange about the jellyfish having good eyes and no brain?
You seem to say that this is weird because they can't process images like humans can.
But.. well... yeah. Jellyfish aren't humans. They're jellyfish.
Why is it strange for a jellyfish to process light and react to those processes without a brain in order to do jelly-fish things?
Why is it strange for a jellyfish (or any creature) to have really amazing eyes and no brain to picture the images in a human way?
Why can't a jellyfish have really good eyes for processing light in the jellyfish way in order to do things a jellyfish needs to do?
Your "problem" seems more like a issue with the fact that jellyfish aren't human.
That's not really a problem for anyone else. For everyone else, we know jellyfish aren't humans... they're jellyfish.

Then a naive question suggests itself: what in particular is more or less fit here?
Whatever survives.
