== The eye in the Bible ==
The '''eye''' is the organ that we see with. Typically they come in pairs, but [[spider]]s (for example) have eight eyes, and [[scallop]]s may have several dozen.
== Diseases of the eye ==
The eye worm ''Loa loa'', a [[parasitism|parasitic]] [[nematode]] worm, inhabits the vitreous humour of the human eyeball in parts of Africa, and is often only detected when somebody sees the worm swimming across inside the eyeball. [http://www.paru.cas.cz/helminti/Nematoda/Loa_loa.gif]
== Evolution of the eye ==
Numerous, unrelated organisms possess eyes of varying degrees of complexity. Evolutionists allege that these all evolved independantly to meet a common need; this is discussed in some detail in ''[[Climbing Mount Improbable]]'', by [[Richard Dawkins]]. [http://www.trueorigin.org/dawkrev2.asp]
Creationists commonly cite the necessary complexity of the eye, in order for it to offer even basic functionality, as clear evidence that it could not have arisen via an evolutionary process.
== Eyes in the Bible ==
The word 'eye' appears over seven hundred times in the Bible.
