This is one of the most misused quotes from Darwin's great work. When
used by creationists, invariably the last part of it, in which Darwin
goes on to state that, essentially, evolution CAN account quite well for
the development of complex eyes.
The condition that leads such to be so blind to such components in the
writing is a psychological/emotional problem.
