One of the arguments by Darwinists against the presense of a Deity is done by pointing to the mammalian retina, which is put in backwards. The rods (seeing cells) are behind two other layers. The inference is that it is terrible design if an intelligent force is in charge. One answer to this has been that this arrangement supplies more energy, but a new finding in mammals that hunt at night finds that DNA is arranged in the rods' nuclei to refact light and concentrate it, allowing increased night vision. I know the following is from the dreaded Discovery Institute, but they are discussing a valid paper in the Journal Cell. http://www.evolutionnews.org/2009/04/shoddy_engineering_or_intellig.html Take your choice:Is this the result of blind luck (Chance mutation and Natural Selection) or could this be a planned design?
