You make an interesting point when you bring up the fact that a light sensitive patch would be useless without accompanying behavioral response to the sensation of light being present.
It seems to me th ...[text shortened]... ikely candidate for pre-sight sensation which would lead to an attraction or avoidance response.
You realize all you’re doing is developing a grand fantasy on the
origin of the eye don't you, this is evolution a fact of science?
You realize so far there is nothing written so far here suggests
these things were remotely possible. So far except the lone hope
of those that believe the process is real and is responsible for all
of our functionally complex systems within us, there is not logical
reason for believing this at all.
Another behavioral response governed by another structure in what
a single cell, a multi-cell creature? You know if your creature with
the new and improved light sensitive patch; instead got a hold of a
heat sensitive patch it could still die by getting to hot. Even if were
to move toward heat source if there was not some understanding
evolved, some mechanism that would alert this, blind, death, dumb
creature that its new feeling has a cause associated with it, it is all
meaningless. All you are doing is attempting to move the light
sensitive patch into an unknown behavioral mechanism and calling
it problem more than likely solved.
I understand there are some bizarre things as a result of genetic
change and how many of them are good?
I understand you want to say that a camera could use the keyboard
software to work, but it does not work that way. It is all bits of
information, but like all information it must be inputted, it must be
processed, it must then if required go to an output device of some sort
that can use it. I promise you, if you hook up your keyboard some
how to you monitor it will not work just having those two things
connected together if you can manage that.
