It has been shown that from a very simple spot that is an eye -- "barely a light receptor" -- all the way up the evolutionary chain to a human eye's present day sophistication.

As to the argument that the ID advocates make that the during the "Cambrian explosion" there suddenly appeared these species with "unprecedented complexity" -- in point of fact that so-called "explosion" during the Cambrian epoch took three billion years. There are fossil records to prove that the Cambrian epoch was in fact a "slow fuse" and not a sudden eruption of new life on the planet. There are fossils of microscopic, soft-bodied things that have been dated as pre-Cambrian; hence, with the fossils and carbon dating science showing exactly what happened during and before the Cambrian epoch, early life evolves from simpler things to far more complex things, according to Prothero.

Intelligent design advocates argue that bacteria called flagella -- each flagella is composed of dozens of very complex but interconnected protein parts -- is so amazingly complex that gradual evolution would not be possible.

But the evolutionary reality is that scientists long ago put together the actual intermediate steps that led to the bacterial flagellum, and this "has been documented at great length" but the ID people ignore the facts, Prothero asserts.

Evolution in fact is the proven process in which, through natural selection, organisms and animals are constantly evolving over millions of years. New species develop / adapt from old species, especially when they are confronted with environmental changes. The Intelligent Design argument is a phony attempt to justify turning one's head away from science. The myriad empirical studies that prove evolution is not just a theory are ignored by the ID people who actually created ID as a slick way of continuing the argument of creationism.
