I d the future a podcast about evolution and intelligent design welcome to ID the. I'm your host Andrew McDermott. Well today I'm

joined again by physicist Dr Brian Miller to continue our discussion of the

intelligent design of human vision. Dr Miller is a

senior fellow of Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture where he serves

as research coordinator. He holds a BS in physics with a minor in engineering from MIT and a PhD in physics from Duke University

He helps to manage the CSC's ID 3.0 research program and he speaks internationally on the topics of intelligent design

and the impact of worldviews on society.

Brian, good to have you back.

It's a pleasure to be back.

Well in part one of this conversation you discussed the evolutionary scenario for how the vertebrate

eye came about.

We talked about the fact that even Charles Darwin thought it absurd in the highest degree that an unguided process like natural

selection and random mutation could account for the human eye.

You also explained to us why it's helpful to approach biological systems from an engineering standpoint,

and you report it on some of the work being done by the engineering research group that you're

working with. At the end of part one, you walked us through some of the subsystems and processes at work in human vision,

you know, how we go from light gathering to a high definition image that we can comprehend.

Maybe, and you don't have to repeat yourself fully on that question, but we can

just repeat yourself fully on that question, but maybe you can start here by just briefly

summarizing how our brains comprehend the image that we're seeing with our eye and how it processes that just

briefly?

Oh certainly so the way that works is you have the cornea and the lens which
