Ancient Ecosystem Found in Israel

If they had been found with eyes in an atmosphere that was without light for tens of thousands of years, and the researcher had found them and reached hard for an evolutionary explanation why this might be, you might have a point, jdent.

But no, it was yet another case of a species that lives in a light-free environment, having no eyes and no coloration.

Instead of the big counter-example we're all waiting for, it was just another example of proof that the theory is correct.

That's about 10,000 examples that prove evolution to none that don't. Can I get snarky about this? It is possible that we're just being fooled. Stick with that idea if you like. Maybe that "intelligent design" thing will work for you, after all, somebody had to put those scorps in that cave eh? Surely they didn't just dig in... the hand of an intelligent designer put them there and blinded them, to fool us.
