THE INVERTED RETINA

      The human eye contains a RETINA –a membrane with approximately 120 million cells called PHOTORECEPTORS, which absorb light rays and convert them into electric signals. Your brain interprets these signals as visual images. Evolutionists have contended that where the retina is placed in the eyes of vertebrates, creatures with a backbone, proves that the eye had no designer.       The retina of VERTEBRATES is inverted, placing the photoreceptors at the back of the retina. To reach them, light must pass through several layers of cells. According to evolutionary biologist Kenneth Miller, this arrangement SCATTERS the light, making our vision less detailed than it might be.        Evolutionists thus claim that the inverted retina is evidence of poor design –really, no design. One scientist even described it as a functionally stupid upside-down orientation. However, further research reveals that the photoreceptors of the inverted retina are ideally placed next to the pigment
