Creation vs evolution and the origin of man.

What nobody understand though is! Does God need eyes to see?

My position is I don't know ohh. . .Don't know how humans came about and i am always willing to admit that I don't know. . . the reality is that it remains a mystery. . .But of the two processes presented in the OP i think evolution is more plausible. . .

Op, without light would you observe that you had eyes? NO!
Without eyes would you know there was light?
However, concerning evolution, since life forms needed light for photosynthesis, it should be light.

During closed eyed hallucinations, or CEV, the visual cortex of the brain is even more active then it is during open eyed observations.

d discussion in question is centred on a trivial issue BTW two feuding parties: religion and science/ creation and evolution
Re: Light Or Eyes: Which Came First? by plaetton: 6:06pm On Aug 20, 2014
Well, visible light is just a tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
In the other words, the universe, or existence for that matter, is mostly dark.

Particles produce luminiscence,or visible light wen their interactions reach a threshold. Therefore, light is actually very scarce in the universe.

As for the question, the obvious answer is that light precedes by far, any biologically evolved receptacle that utilizes it.

Oga Plaetton, thanks for your input. Would send you a PM over the weekend.

I have a lot to say on this topic. Thanks to all who've contributed so far. Hopefully, we'll thrash this out properly over the weekend.


Inasmuch as we all know no one has 'knowledge' of how this world began or exactly how life has evolved up to this point, this thread would be focusing on evolution AND the belief that this process didn't need any external influence/creator to kickstart it, so let's just have fun speculating.


Should be tasty... grin

According to the bible, light as we know it came first, then human eyes.
Re: Light Or Eyes: Which Came First? by wiegraf: 3:16am On Aug 22, 2014
Search long and hard, look for a weakness, a flaw. You will fail. They have no case. Light came first.

Sounds like contrived non-starter to me - the bible says light was created before humans so on the subject of which came first, both evolution and the bible agree.

To put it differently, there's no point in God creating eyes if there was no light for it to process.

The Op has hidden agenda for creating this thread.

He knew Bible creation started with 'let there be light'. He intends to ask how light could be recognised if there were no eyes.

Answer: God alone was present at said time and He doesn't need eyes to see.

You couldn't comprehend my post. I wasn't answering the op's direct question, its not Worth the stress.

I was answering an implied question his strayed mind was asking.


I have an employer and I am one.

He created You in His own image doesn't mean You look like Him physically. He is a Spirit, He has no physical form.

Being in His image is having émotions and reasoning like Him
