Your bible is a story. It is fiction. Just like Shakespeare but not nearly as good.

I agree wholeheartedly on your point about the children. Watching kids who are far too young to decide what they believe, being asking them what they believe, and saying that they disbelieve sceince and believe in ancient superstitions feels like I'm watching kids being brainwashed. In fact, that's exactly what I'm watching.

Anyway, the latter condition of Darwin's statement is exactly what has been shown to be the case.

then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real. Which certainly suggests that you might have been disingenuous to quote only the part you did.

The later part of your quote is Yet reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a perfect and complex eye to one very imperfect and simple, each grade being useful to its possessor, can be shown to exist; if further, the eye does vary ever so slightly, and the variations be inherited, which is certainly the case; and if any variation or modification in the organ be ever useful to an animal under changing conditions of life...

Also you have to put that quote in context. Darwin was making an argument to a society that he expected to bee extremely hostile to theory of speciation through natural selection. I suspect that such self defacing statements were meant to appeal to the readers sympathy by showing Darwin to be a cautious scientist.

Thanks very much Tex. I apologize for my mis-interpretation and I appreciate your clearing it up. I'm checking out that wiki article now.

Well for one thing entropy only applies to closed systems. Open systems like whirlpools for example that form in a sink drain are open systems and that is why they can spontaneously express a higher ordered state. The overall entropy is still increasing.
