ID vs Teleportation?

So I'm sitting in bed and watching Hot Fuzz (which is totally like the best movie ever) but really I'm busy typing instead of watching it, which is somewhat sad.  I'm also wondering why I'm so incredibly unreasonably ridiculously tired which, coincidentally, is why I'm currently in bed watching Hot Fuzz.
Did you know proponents of Intelligent Design often cite the human eye as an organ that could not come about randomly?  In fact, it would take only four simple steps (all forms currently present in the animal kingdom) to get from a few photosensitive nerve cells to the complex structure of the human eye.  Furthermore, this as evidence of Intelligent Design is total bunk, because any designer who would install photoreceptors backwards for no good reason could hardly be considered intelligent.  At least the blind spot makes some sense (it's where the optic nerve exits, so naturally doesn't have photoreceptors in that area.) It might be possible for the optic nerve to exit somewhere that, you know, doesn't receive sensory input, but maybe that would have caused some other problems.
Anyway, I should be studying for my physiology lab exam but I really think I'm just going to pass out when the movie is over.  I guess I don't have much to say today, but felt like blogging???
Teleportation is the best superpower.  I'd only have to get up like twenty minutes before class instead of like an hour.  I wouldn't have to drive back and forth to school every weekend.  I could go visit my sister whenever I wanted to instead of planning out a week I can take off and sit through the airport.  I could go visit Kelly whenever I wanted to.  I could make day trips to Italy and still sleep in my own bed.  Even if I could only move myself and whatever I was carrying at the time, it'd be extraordinarily useful.  I could go see musicals in New York.  Now I just need to figure out how to not land in a wall or a person or underground...

  1. Hey I want to know more about this backwards cuz I hadn't heard that and the image in my head would make you blind. Also to help with your eye argument, octopus eye is considered superior its an entirely independently developed eye, without a blind spot because they lack that giant optic nerve i forget hows theirs exactly looks its been awhile and chris wants to play sins so i'm not going to refresh myself have fun.
