I haven't finished my current chapter of Hitchens' GING, which attempts to pick apart arguments for intelligent design. But I was reminded of one of the chapter's arguments by something I saw in the media today.
Hitchens attempts to use the (apparently) backwards and indirect structure of the human eye to suggest that it couldn't have been designed--because a designer would have done a better job. (Hitchens floats a few such examples. I'll keep from editorials until I rebut the whole chapter).
Scientists at Northwestern University are attempting to build a new camera modelled on the human eye.
It seems they can't think of something better than this crummy model.
