A caller made a statement that eyes couldn't evolve and they help to prove creationism - apparently the name for this theory and ones like it is the "Blind Watchmaker's Theory".
Too bad...

There are many stories like this. I found this looking for a similar story about a cave in Central America where there are fish living in ponds existing sparsely throughout the cave. The fish are genetically related, yet, the deeper into the cave you go the less remanence of eyes remain. In the pond furthest from the cave's mouth there are absolutely no eyes developed.
