Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny—An Elaborate Hoax

Obviously, the scenario Dawkins presents is a deception, as is the rest of Mount Improbable, where the amazing formation of thousands of different eyes allegedly occurs. In fact, no eyes are formed there. The eye could not be built in stages. An eye is of no value at all for survival unless it can see. Clearly, it must be created complete. Evolution could never take it as far as half an eye (no matter what that might mean) because anything that did not contribute to survival at any stage (1 percent, 2 percent, 3 percent, etc.) would be eliminated by natural selection, preventing this process from even getting started. Dawkins himself declared:

“Unrelentingly and unceasingly, as Darwin explained, ‘Natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinizing throughout the world every variation, even the slightest; rejecting that which is bad, preserving and adding up all that is good; silently and insensibly working, whenever and wherever opportunity offers at the improvement of each organic being. . . . Ruthless utilitarianism trumps, even if it doesn’t always seem that way.’”
