I haven't had much experience with this sonship guy, so maybe you're right about him, but I've tried to explain this process to RJHinds and KellyJay in the past. They always fall back to thinking of evolution as a purely random process. They repeatedly fail to grasp the selection part of the equation. 😞
If he thinks about how atoms naturally combine to form molecular structures, he'll be more likely to accept the emergence of self-replicating DNA precursors.

Don't remember the details but the bottom line was that there was a good reason for the human eye BEING the way it is.

Incidently, one has only to look at the backwards wiring of the eye, the distance between the eye and the visual cortex, and the blind spot error correction going on in the brain, to tell that the eye came about through a series of incremental fixes, rather than through a purposeful, intelligent design. Evolutionary theory fits the evidence better, so it defeats the "simple" magic you propose.
Originally posted by C HessIt is much too complicated to have randomly evolved. The simplest explanation is that it was designed by a super intelligent designer, i.e. God.

Surely you must agree with Hess that the idea of evolutionary theory is absolutely bonkers. Right? Oh yeah, that is without natural selection, more magical words. Abracadabra.

Natural selection, as you well know by now, is the very opposite of magical incantations.
