Charles Darwin wrote: “To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree” (Origin of Species, 1859, p. 186). On July 3, 1881, he wrote: “But then with me the horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man’s mind, which has been developed from the mind of the lower animals, are of any value or at all trustworthy. Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey’s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind?” Darwin acknowledged that if his mind was a mere accident, if in fact everything in the universe is a series of accidents, can you trust it when it comes up with such an idea as evolution? It seems a strange turn of events when one uses his intelligence to try and prove there is no intelligence in the universe.
