Cameras are complicated instruments and have a number of working parts, but the human eye is much more complex. Here are some interesting facts about your eye.

In a normal life-span, will bring you almost 24 million images of the world around you. Are composed of more than two million working parts. Can process 36,000 bits of information every hour.

It has 136 million special cells called rods and cones. These receive light and turn it into electrical signal which travel along our optic nerve to our brain at 300 miles an hour! When our brain receives the signal, a picture is made, and we see what went into our eyes!

Under the right conditions, can discern the light of a candle at a distance of 14 miles. It is the most complex organs you possess except for your brain.

We blink over 10 million times a year. Blinking helps to wash tears over our eyeballs. That keeps them clean and moist. Also, if something is about to hit our eye, we will blink automatically.

Our body has some natural protection for our eyes. Our eyelashes help to keep dirt out of our eyes. Our eyebrows are made to keep sweat from running into our eye.

Around the pupil is a coloured muscle called the “iris.” Our eyes may be blue, brown, green, grey or black, because that is the colour of the iris. The job of the iris is to control the amount of light entering the pupil. Our eyes have many parts. The black part on the front of our eye is called the “pupil.” It is really a little hole that opens into the back part of our eyes.

No wonder Darwin said “the eye makes me shudder”. He couldn’t explain it but went against reason to propose it evolved. The essential problem for Evolutionists is how so many intricate components could have independently evolved to work together perfectly when, if a single component didn’t function perfectly, nothing would work at all. Is it really possible that thousands upon thousands of lucky chance mutations happened coincidentally so that the lens and the retina, which cannot work without each other, evolved in synchrony? What survival value can there be in an eye that doesn’t see? None!

“The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both,” wrote King Solomon (Proverbs 20:12). Psalm 94:9 asks: “He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?”. We marvel at God’s design that we can see with our TWO amazing eyes!
