I agree with the idea that God started a Creation, but then allowed
Evolution to work upon His work. One of the large journals (Science I
believe)has just released data that has significant evident pointing
toward the evolution of the human eye from a compound eye source. The research found the gene
that controls the eye and when over expressed caused multiple eyes on the
body of Drosophila. The gene was then removed from the fly embryo and a
developmental gene from a mouse was inserted and eye formation occurred.
