It is similar to why people have coloured irises. Iris pigments provide no advantage, but exist because somewhere in history a genetic mutation caused it to occur, and an animal with that trait also ended up with an advantageous trait, and so the genes for coloured irises survived. It is the same for the development of the eyeball. Eventually it <em>did</em> become useful, and it then followed the normal evolutionary cycle.

Evolution doesn't "know" that this will become an incredible useful thing in the future, and any suggestion of this supports Intelligent Design. So, while the big man up above may not be fiddling around with mutants, there could be something else, gently nudging things around.

I don't really know what to think, but science does not have all the answers. Good overview of life. I don’t really know what to think, but science does not have all the answers.
