Who needs seeds? The right conditions and elements, life happened. No creator needed.

I don't know how to deal with this question because it appears to be the work of an insane person, but in case you are seriously asking this question, the answer is because eyes are useful.

Creationists may be closet atheists. They lack faith, so try to justify their absurd beliefs by trying to "prove" the unproveable. True faith doesn't need fake science.

Like pedophiles, creationists attempt to justify and rationalize their perversion by any means possible.

Okay, prove him wrong. Come up with a single provable fact that points to the existance of a creator, i.e. "god".

I'll give you say,,,, 30 years to come up with one. Happy searching.

You're so confused. Evolution has to do with the development of different and varied lifeforms. It does NOT, however, speak to the source of life at its origins. That is a different law of nature, not the law of evolution.

Exactly!!! The work of an insane person, to think that is a good argument. You couldn't see my tongue firmly planted in my cheek? i tried to make that obvious by saying, "Hey, can I play," just because it is so easy to follow up with bad arguments. It was just a twist on the old creationist stumper, "if we evolved from monkees, why are there still monkees" but even that get's too cliche'. Read Campbell's arguments. I was following his lead LOL. It's just too easy.

It's a joke based on a post from Campbell,who claims that because most all creatures have eyes,this proves that identical mutations can spring up independently in various species.This is supposed to be a "logical" answer to the broken vitamin C gene that primates,including humans,share.

Kind of off track for Campbell and shows a bit of desperation,since that would mean that God created all animals without eyes and then they all developed them independently.But when the facts of life confound you and you go desperately searching for an answer to a question you don't truly even understand,such happens.

I guess if you have to explain it.... Thanks. Maybe I need to use the <sarcasm></sarcasm> around those kinds of posts, but it is always fun to see who bites.

Got it - I think? Did not know it was a joke.

You're making the presumption that something external entity created life although the better question would 'what caused life to begin.'
