DEER EYESIGHT IS DESIGNED
If you have ever tried to stealthily sneak up on a grazing deer, chances are it ran away before you got too close. It is incredibly hard to sneak up on a deer.
This is because the eyes of a deer are uniquely designed to see nearby and distant objects simultaneously. This allows the deer to graze while keeping an eye out for predators. A deer's eyes are set high and wide -this allows the deer to see in an almost complete circle.
Deer also have special night vision "goggles". Because a deer is most active in the early morning or late evening when there is little light, they have been designed with night vision. Special reflective cells are situated at the rear of its eyes. First, light enters the eye and is absorbed. Then the light which is not absorbed is reflected back towards the retina and a second time allowing it to be absorbed. We see these night vision "goggles" as glowing eyes when we see a deer in our headlights. If this wasn't all incredible enough, deer can also see on the ultraviolet spectrum which is invisible to humans.
How did an eye create the lens needed to see both near and far simultaneously? How did the eye develop a reflective layer? How did the deer's brain learn to see ultraviolet light? Atheists will just say all this happened by time and chance, but a better more logical answer is the abilities came from the Designer's hand.
