One of the arguments against evolution by natural selection is the concept of "irreducible complexity", which means that, using the eye as the most complex example, anything less than the fully evolved organ is useless.As with other arguments based on ideology rather than data, this one doesn't stand up to the science.
Starting with a single-celled protist called the paramecium (as well as even some eukaryotes), which has a "light spot", nature reveals a complete spectrum of "eye" designs. In fact, the eye--which is basically just a light-sensing organ--may have arisen more than once during the course of evolution (a process known as "convergence").
We are fearfully and wonderfully made--deep in our DNA, where it
really counts and where the true brilliance and eternal wisdom of our design is revealed.
