Re: Can we assume the Creator's motives in design?
If we can't, then what's the point in talking about it? If it was the intention of the Creator to make things look like they evolved, then shouldn't we be talking about them like they evolved?
Hmmm...the photon loss, for me, has caused relatively few problems.
That you're aware of. Since no human being has ever had optimum eyes, who's to say what you're missing? Imagine being a blind man in a world of blind men. Would you have any reason to feel like you were missing something?
Something else to consider is that, if the Bible is true, then we are no longer living in the original, optimal edenic environment...the Flood, which I'm not assuming you believe, destroyed that.
By what mechanism would water reverse our retinas?
After the Flood the resulting environmental damage has caused our life span to diminish down to the 100 years we experience (if lucky) today.
How? For instance how does water break functional genes in our genetics?
