Post RW: DIE DIE BURN! BURN!

Yes, I am here. I've been reading through your works and must admit you've really done your homework.I am deeply impressed. <img src="graemlins/notworthy.gif" border="0" alt="[Not Worthy]" />

GZ is dead. I am leaving there in search of a new cyber home.

Anyway, if you are looking at the human eye for intelligent design, you've got to wonder why it has an inherent flaw; a blind spot.

Everyone's eyes, have a blind spot in the lower field of vision, in the right eye, it's in the lower right, in the left eye, it's in the lower left.

We don't "see" it because our brains fill in the missing area with information from our surroundings. If you take a piece of paper with two bars on it, with one of the bars missisng the middle part of it, you can find your blind spot by moving the paper around until both bars appear to be whole.

The eye is a wonderful thing, but only because the human mind makes it so.

I would suggest " The Blind Watchmaker" by Richard Dawkin to your opponent.

I would also suggest that she open those eyes, but I doubt she will.

It is a pleasure to see you on this side of the fence and a joy to see your writing skill put to real use.

Thinking Freely,
Mike Carmichael

Wow Mike, thanx for the kudos. You'd likely enjoy this forum. There are some occasionally decent discussions and lot's of really cool and diverse folks hanging around. She, meaning diana, is an atheist who was shining me on and having a real hoot about it. I should learn to scope out the profile section on poster's...yes.

But I enjoyed the challenge even if I didn't get it right. I didn't know that about the eye either, but it seems I do remember vaguely some such test on a website somewhere that I took to that effect, now that you mention it. Anyway welcome to the courthouse and thnx again.
