But one thing evolution can't explain is the eye ball.
Question: Have you read Origin of Species?
Seems that Darwin could explain the evolution of the eye and that was 150 years ago.
I find it very interesting that many creationists specifically use the example of the eye as something that evolution cannot explain since the father of modern theories of evolution actually used the eye as an example of something that evolved....

Isn't it reasonably probable that the first really successful self replicator just happened to be of one chirility (sp?) and got out ahead? Then there was "room" for another one to arise?
Depends upon the reaction. Some reactions create homochiral molecules by their very nature. If you go to Google and do a search for "homochiral replicator," you'll get some interesting results.
A chiroselective peptide replicator
An interesting product in this chemical process is displayed in Figure 6 of the article:
Schematic illustration of cross-catalytic networks established by heterochiral templates that help in the maintenance and amplification of homochiral products.
