Abstract
One of the many impressive aspects of On the Origin of Species is that Darwin devotes an entire chapter to what he terms "Difficulties of the Theory". This is not a habit common among leading scientists today! One of the difficulties he discusses is the evolution of eyes. He starts by pointing out what many people feel when considering this organ in terms of evolutionary theory: To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.
