For Lyston: Types of Trilobite Eye
Hi Lyston,
You seemed to be having a problem with distinguishing between different types of compound eyes?
May I suggest that you read the following web resource on Trilobite Eyes?
The Trilobite Eye
As you can see there are three distinct types of Trilobite compound eyes.
Read carefully and you'll see that each type is constructed differently.
In addition each type of compound eye in Trilobites had tremendous variation in form and size.
Hope this helps?
Cheers

Gee, this looks like the evolutionary process that takes place in the womb!!

What I'm talking about is this supposed evolutionary process of the eye is most likely the exact same process the eye takes when forming in the womb, which in reality is not any proof that it ever evolved over millions or billions of years through chance production. It's a natural process that takes place every time an egg is fertilized. Nothing remotely new or dramatic.

Wrong. The eye does not develop "that way" as an embryo develops.
If you have evidence to the contrary, please post a link to that information.

When you say that this is "most likely", do you have a scrap of evidence for this assertion?
which in reality is not any proof that it ever evolved over millions or billions of years through chance production ...
Before you maunder on any further about evolution, perhaps you should find out what the theory of evolution is.
It's a natural process that takes place every time an egg is fertilized. Nothing remotely new or dramatic.
And yet creationists who will admit that this process can happen in months pretend that it can't possibly happen over millions of years. Though this, too, is a natural process.

Ah yes, ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny ... Haeckel would be so proud ...
Seems more like (fill in your favorite) that don't know much about evolution recapitulate all those discarded concepts that have already been invalidated?
Welcome to the fray godservant.
... which in reality is not any proof that it ever evolved over millions or billions of years through chance production.
A good place to (start) learn(ing) about evolution is berkeley's website.
Meanwhile consider this:
(1) no two organisms are identical
(2) any organism that is more capable of survival and breeding than another organism will more often than not survive and breed more than the other
(3) because of (1), (2) inevitably happens.
It's a natural process that takes place every time an egg is fertilized.
Actually most fertilized eggs fail to reach maturity.
Nothing remotely new or dramatic.
And what would qualify as "new" or "dramatic" for you? Have you really thought about this?
Enjoy.
