And why is it that lower creatures such as lobsters or squids or eagles have lenses that are so far advanced beyond the lenses in our eyes—not only better than the lenses in our eyes but better than any lens we have been able to produce?

On what peak of Mount Improbable did man get stuck, leaving his eyes so inferior to those of lower creatures? Could it be that we stopped to rest somewhere on Mount Improbable and began making eyeglasses for ourselves instead of evolving further? What a shortsighted decision!
