Each of these animals has an eye that's best selectedfor its environment. It would be cleaner... less variables, if you had an origin. Go on. You start with one... to get to 12. But what if you had zero? A non-seeing organism and builtgenetically an eye from scratch... a zero to 12. It'd be a perfect proof, unassailable. Non-seeing organisms don'thave the PAX6 gene. How do you know?Has anyone ever checked all of them? I don't think anyone hasever checked... all of them. You've thought of this before? Why did you look surprised? Because so have you

Each of these animals has an eye
00:00:03.044 --> 00:00:05.662
that's best selected for its environment
00:00:07.048 --> 00:00:09.367
It would be cleaner
00:00:09.467 --> 00:00:13.045
less variables if you had an origin
00:00:14.264 --> 00:00:15.832
Go on
00:00:15.932 --> 00:00:17.883
You start with one
00:00:18.101 --> 00:00:21.803
to get to 12 But what if you had zero
00:00:21.938 --> 00:00:26.676
A non seeing organism and built genetically an eye from scratch
00:00:26.776 --> 00:00:28.595
a zero to 12
00:00:28.695 --> 00:00:31.598
It'd be a perfect proof unassailable
00:00:31.698 --> 00:00:35.567
Non seeing organisms don't have the PAX6 gene
00:00:36.016 --> 00:00:38.779
How do you know Has anyone ever checked all of them
00:00:39.747 --> 00:00:43.992
I don't think anyone has ever checked all of them
00:00:45.067 --> 00:00:47.496
You've thought of this before
00:00:48.715 --> 00:00:49.949
Why did you look surprised
00:00:50.999 --> 00:00:51.833
Because so have you
