yeah it's interesting how the eye is classically used as an argument for design! but evolutionarily eyes are wonderful but actually pretty quick to evolve.

if you break it down into steps you really can explain it in primary school language. light sensitive tissue, slight dimple, pinhole eye, then if you wanna get fancy a lens etc.

sorry for derailing your post! when I got out and learned how evolution actually works I was so mad, like you say it's actually v comprehensible. lot of resentment about knowledge denied my younger self 😅 anyway! evolution is wild and so interesting, and that is a WEIRD looking beastie I love him
