A student of the phenomena of vision, Professor Pritchard, speaks thus
of the argument from the structure of the human eye:
From what I know, through my own specialty, both geometry and
experiment, of the structure of lenses and the human eye, I do
not believe that any amount of evolution, extending through
any amount of time consistent with the requirements of our
astronomical knowledge, could have issued in the production of
that most beautiful and complicated instrument, the human eye.
There are too many curved surfaces, too many distances, too many
densities of the media, each essential to the other; too great a
facility of ruin by slight disarrangement, to admit of anything
short of the intervention of an intelligent Will at some stage
of the evolutionary process. (Text.)
