Design of the (bionic) eye

James Randerson, at the GrauniadGuardian blog site makes an interesting point about the new bionic eye. It's only a 4x4 grid of monochrome pixels, but it's revolutionised the life of a blind man. Of what use is 1/2^n of an eye? Well it's enough to navigate. Randerson points out that this totally demolishes the ID argument. So it's not only a cool invention, but a great rebuttal.

I might have stunned couple local creationists some bit when I mentioned that a) my aunt's cat (cataract in another eye) catches mice in dark winter and b)I know an one-eye(another eye made of glass) guy who is excellent excavator driver, one of the best drivers in our province. One of those creationists had just boasted about his two eyes and ears that how vital they are for 3D pictures, stereophonic etc ..:D
