I really like Steven. But I thing he's wrong, wrong, wrong about evolution. He's got an anti-creation treatise where he's got the wrong emphases. The point is not 'Could God have designed a better eye?'. It depends on God's values, which are really different from ours. And maybe it was a mix of guided (creation) and natural (evolution) processes. Plus, we are limited, and that is part of God's plan. We're made for Him. And the Fall changes everything.

The argument for Creation relative to the human eye is not 'We could build a better one.' (echoes of 'The Six Million Dollar Man'), but could the eye have evolved. Michael Behe says in his book 'Darwin's Black Box' emphatically not, and, to my mind, his scientific argument is very convincing. I'm not the scientist Steven is, but Behe is, and more accomplished in microbiology.
