Eyes, and Evolution Falsified Again
Believers in universal common descent evolution appear to have cognitive difficulties, or mayhaps it is bravado. I say this because when faced with data they cannot explain, deep-time anomalies, theories shown to be false, they pretend to receive good news and something important about evolution has been learned.
Indeed, fundamentalist evolutionists may shuffle the deck and deal again, but they do not question if the deck is valid in the first place — the deck being evolution. They need to cowboy up and question evolution itself.

Cephalopod eyes and vertebrate eyes are infinitely apart when it comes to structure and how they deal with light, so they had to develop independently with no evolutionary connections possible along the way, except for the elusive “universal common ancestor.” Cephalopods do have very large but unusual brains, especially for mollusks, and a major portion of the brain, somewhat like our own, is involved with vision. These interesting animals also have enough intelligence that they are capable of learning quickly in experimental situations. This also demonstrates that they show a remarkable degree of memory.
