Phasad1913, it's always nice to have a rational back up in these discussions.

I know this isn't particularly on topic, but has anyone ever pondered the question of eyeballs and evolution? If creatures evolved in stages and everything took a long time to reach the next stage, then certainly eyesockets developed before eyeballs. Then, eyeballs would begin to develop within the eyesockets and would eventually gain sight.

So, why in the world would the development of something as important as sight - which is logical since evolution brought about things as they became important - involve stages in which there were periods when the eye socket was completely vulnerable to attack, filled with blood and a direct hole to the brain (ok, there's some flesh in there but not much!)?
