Nature is full of partial eyes of all descriptions. It quite deflates fundie arguments against evolution -- in any case, they were conceiving the eye front to back, whereas the eye's development was from back to front, and makes a lot better sense so understood.

Though my most powerful antifundie argument is one couched in religious terms: would an immortal capital-B Being, with literally all the time in the Universe, have any compelling reason to do other than to take the time to do it right? Remember when Genesis was written, and who it was written for: a tribal people without science, and in the late Bronze Age. We've gotten better at teasing out the world's information since those days.
