This video cleared up all the reservations I had regarding evolution (which weren't many).
I think it's safe to say that natural selection alone was enough for the evolution of all the complex life we see today.
What do you guys think?

What’s the summary of the video

A lot of people (including me in the past) doubt that natural selection is enough for the development of complex features like the eyes.
The thing about eyes is that unlike other organs, it seems that half an eye is no good. It seems that an eye must be developed perfectly to be useful to the organism and therefore selected. But it's improbable for an eye to develop fully in a single step.
So, in this video Dawkins explains how eyes must have evolved. He showed that even some form of ability to detect eyes must have been advantageous to the organism.
He also showed several examples of the different kinds of eyes that have evolved – some as simple as a pinhole camera, some super complex like ours and some completely different like using mirrors instead of lenses kind of like in reflecting telescopes.

i have to make few things very clear
colors that we see are reflected ones
we have two eyes
we see one image
and everything is processed
yes eyes can develop through evolution and natural selection
true,
but what they sought ?
what do they seek?
what do my eyes want to see?
this is my question…
i don’t think they are looking for predators, because
i am sitting among them.
he’s wrong when he says better eyes mean better perception of prey
>use case of eyes?, what are we seeking through them?
i don’t think it’s answer is natural selection
neither do i think it is god
i do not find my peace in either of them.
if we are so lucky, then why it feels so sad?
natural selection is very tricky thing
you will see that those who kept hope are alive
i seriously don’t know what their eyes wanted to see.
I ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT MEDUSA’s EYES
imagine you gaze at them and you die, what’s more peaceful end?

??
why would it not be advantageous to see your prey or predators?
>he’s wrong when he says better eyes mean better perception of prey
how?

it would be advantageous to see prey
but i don’t think eyes evolved for prey and predators
imagine you can see threat warning in your head for all the beings
you see like death note shinigami shit, including for animals too,
do you think that it would be enough to guarantee your survival?
you can have best eyes and yet die
flight or fight response of various species is deciding point of natural selection of evolution of threat management
if you have a good threat management system
it doesn’t natter if you are blind
i think eyes evolved to search what mind dreamt at nights when everything went dark

why would we otherwise see dreams?
there’s no sense to them
on cosmic scale
and no species can state what is dream
and brain plays tricks on you in dreams
but i m not sure about dreams
i think this is the reason eyes evolved so complex
you cannot see something’s which you cannot imagine
how do you imagine such things which you never saw at first place
I HAVE THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT EYES
AND WHAT ARE THEY SEARCHING ;’,.

Nice discovery chap I think this year's nobel prize is yours lmao

Stfu bitch not everyone is a 12th dropout. These shits are piss basics taught in undergrad bio from both evolutionary and molecular persepectives.
Nobody gives a fuck about what some pleb has to say about evolution It's quite funny to see no pleb has ever raised a serious question in evodevo.
