I've been trying to find links to an article that explains the latest scientific views on this, but most of them require subscription to journals and are in highly technical language. The best I've found so far that are accessible to the general reader are these two: - The first is a long article on the evolution of eyes by Kenneth Miller (who is an evolutionary biologist and also a theist - he gave evidence at the Dover trial, against ID): - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/change/grand/ - The second is an account by a biochemist of Vitamin A (which because of its connection with sight is also known as "retinol"): - http://sandwalk.blogspot.com/2007/08/vitamin-retinol.html - Thus the origin of a "light-sensitive spot" is just a matter of a slight change in the structure of a chemical compound. - The above was in response to the phrase "... out of the blue developed sensitivity to light (= sight), ..." which occurs on this page.
