And it has been proved possible via computer programs (as I have mentioned before). Maybe you should first prove that it is unlikely, as so far that is not a known fact but simply your opinion.
People seem to just accept this as factual; as if it is easier to go with the flow of common beliefs than to look at this very critically,
When I was younger I tended to accept as factual what my parents or teachers told me was factual. Now I am older I am more skeptical, and have questioned evolution and many other scientific theories. So far I have not found the Theory of Evolution to be wanting. However many people do accept as fact what the scientific community tells them, and I think that they are largely justified in doing so if they do no personally have the time or skill to investigate for themselves.
especially since questioning this will lead to belittlement and being marginalized by others as can be witnessed by reading posts on this site in other threads.
I would never intentionally marginalize or belittle someone simply for questioning the Theory of Evolution, I do tend to belittle you, because you clearly do understand the concepts involved but try to attack them with false arguments or more commonly mere implications which you refuse to go into detail on and it is frequently clear that you know them to be false and that you attack for purely religious reasons.
You also have a tendency of running away from any argument that you think you are losing using with statements to the effect that it is all a matter of opinion or perspective.
So the start of the eye was when, how, and under what conditions
again, best guess please?
What do you define as the 'eye' and what would you consider its 'start'?
I think you already know most peoples opinions as to likely scenarios. Here is my best guess:
1. An organism evolved light sensitive cells and used them for purposes other than sight. (even plants do this)
2. An organism evolved a basic nervous system.
3. The organism started to use the light sensitive cells to react via its nervous system directly to changes in light.
In my opinion, that could be classified as an eye.
