As suggested by several people, I am starting a new thread for the Evolution of Eyes. To get the ball rolling, a pamphlet that I have says:
​
The Trilobite Eye.
Millions of Trilobites exist in ancient Cambrian rock. These Trilobites have eyes that are as complex as any eyes that exist today. This fossil fact (and thousands others) falsifies the Theory of Evolution by complex systems appearing suddenly without any transitions.
​
Although it exaggerates with the "thousands others", I think the eye thing might hold some truth to it. I looked up Trilobites on Wikipedia, and while I skimmed through most of it, I read the part about eyes.
​
The eyes of the organism is very similar to the Ophiocoma Wendtii's eyes, something that exists today.
​
Cambrian, I believe, is the oldest fossil layer with signs of complex organisms. The eyes are complex organs and found in ancient times. So I'm making this thread to discuss the evolution of such eyes (and others later).
​
So, let's continue, shall we?

Excellent introduction. If you remove this portion:

Then I'll promote this.
