The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence of Belief | Francis Collins at Caltech 

Clawed1234: the name sounds familiar but the main thing is how so many top flight scientists are Christians and others believe there is a God or something behind the creation of the universe. I have been asking atheists to explain how two different results can come from a thorough examination of the facts. People like Dr. James M. Tour and Dr. Hugh Ross. Devout Christians. The silly answers I get only show the lengths the non believer will go to avoid facing the facts.

@E R Which particular God did you meet i wonder? I also wonder how you established you were at the bottom of the glass.

@@michaelbrickley2443 Isn't Collins simply asserting God and then using God's assumed supernatural ability (defined as such, not observed) to explain whatever he feels science can't explain, plus everything science can explain? Well, that's just too easy since that's everything. Supernatural can explain anything and everything without effort. Science isn't allowed to do that. Science has to make the effort to explain the mechanisms, processes, or elements involved in any observed thing, form those into falsifiable hypotheses and then devise experiments to try to disprove those hypotheses. If something doesn't yet have an answer, that's the way it should remain until new information comes along to revisit the question of explaining a thing. Regarding Tour, I was disappointed in his mischaracterizing evolution by putting the cart before the horse. He takes an existing life protein and calculates the odds of that one protein being constructed by chance, and claims the odds are so astronomical that it can never have evolved by chance. Evolution doesn't work like that. It doesn't care what proteins are produced. Any protein at all can be produced by any random mutation. Unlike Tour, evolution has no goal in mind. If evolution randomly produces a protein that contributes to reproductive fitness, it gets preserved and it's one of the proteins we see today simply because it happened to do something. Had a different set of proteins appeared from different mutations, the ones we see today would be different and life would be based on those instead.

@@laceystinson the God of the gaps? Haha…I don’t use scientists to prove God. He proved Himself to me. Explain miracles and the resurrection evidence. Explain scientists such as John Polkinghorne, James M. Tour and others, looking at the evidence and coming to faith in the One True God, Yahweh. You’re just reading the atheist handbook and it fits your narrative. Too many critical thinking humans agree with me. And as I said in the beginning, He proved Himself to me. He has proved Himself to many others. The evidence that points to the weakness in atheist faith is laid out in Geisler and Tureks’s book, I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist. You should read it, might wake you up

@@michaelbrickley2443 really? How do Spanish Medieval Jews feel about that. One true God, wastes over 1000 years competing with variations of Himself, and taking, NO action, on supposed 'detestable', things? A little odd. I guess breaking Sabbath will get you a full trial, and even a divine appearance, ala Numbers 15 - but actual pogroms, an inquisition, pro slavery apologetic priests, schisms, and wars - do not get anything, so comparable?

Truly iAgree...

Many scientists through our history were Christians or Muslims, for a long time it seemed a reasonable conclusion. Of course, now that we have a much deeper, comprehensive understanding of the universe, most scientists are atheists, because there is not sufficient evidence to warrant belief. That's why Christians believe on faith, which is just meant to replace evidence because if someone had a good reason to believe something, they wouldn't need faith

If you find fanatics scary, I think you will be just fine. ☺️

I relate with your fear of becoming that kind of Christian. What helps me is to remember what it was like before I was a believer. How would I have wanted to be spoken to? Hope this helps. God be with you on your journey. 🙏🏾

Jesus isn't a religion. Religion binds, but Jesus sets you free. And whom the Son sets free is free indeed.

Ultimately, Jesus is the role model. You gain knowledge of him by simply listening to Him. The way it works with him is that he rubs off on you as you walk with him.

I am reading the bible for the first time in my life, after beeing atheist for 20 years. Jesus is truth!

How the journey going 2 years later? Have you made the connection and do you pray?

I pray you've found God, especially now that we are watching Revelation unfold in real time. Thing is, it's impossible to please God without faith, so if you're looking for a definitive answer of whether He exists you won't find it in academics or "science." Your faith only grows by hearing the Word, it grows spiritually. Some people never get to that place ig. I know, definitively that God exists but that was a spiritual journey and not a physical one

God bless man. I’m no scientist but definitely in a high science field and I’ve often ended up in the same place this man has. The question of consciousness, the real root of it, is just too much for science alone for me.

@@LouLouLion Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Today I would like to discuss a very real threat to any Faithful True ®Christian. I speak, of course, about the demonic practice of rational thinking.” In these modern times, where evil people worship science, that spreads lies and blasphemies against God in our public school and classrooms, there is an increasing pressure from the unsaved upon True Christians to embrace their religious practice of Logic and Reason, which is a euphemism, of course, for slandering God’s Holy Bible. Why do I say this? Because, when anyone tries to applies rational thinking to the Bible, it suddenly doesn’t seem to make as much sense as it normally did, suggesting the Bible would be filled with contradictions and such. This, of course, already proves that rational thinking is a form of demonic possession, clouding the vision of the freethinker to the Truth.

@@dr.rickmarshall6697 Do you feel better? I hope so.

Sorry, so where do parasitic wasps eating caterpillars alive factor into this, @weston saathoff ? And which bits of nature did or did not fall under demonic influence or sabotage, post Fall? Such that not all visible bits of nature may have only one clear hand or intent, behind them now? And where was the Word, and doing what, during the Inquisition in Spain, if I could have some clarity on that - please? As it was so... wasteful. And showing self only via nature to those who... aren't looking, runs the risk of them inferring more than one creator behind it, or some different one. Or even a generic one. It may lack some specifics, when it comes to who they should direct their search, or worship toward. I also assume He is not so... Jealous, now?

@@chrissonofpear1384 he's very jealous. And those who have the incorruptible seed in them truly know. The sifting is coming in hot. You'll either die for Christ at the hands of the "intellectuals," or you'll make a Christ into your own image, which is what the VAST majority of "Christians" are doing, have done, and will continue to do, as Jesus Himself prophesied that they would. As well as what the Apostles prophesied. There truly is nothing new under the sun, including "scientific discovery".

@@faithtruth8036 - Young Earth Creationism doesn't explain any of the wonders we see in nature. It contradicts pretty much all we've learned in the last 300 years. It is an embarrassment for Christianity.

@@hansweichselbaum2534Bold statement but the claim is that what we see was designed by an infinitely powerful and wise being who is out side and beyond it's laws. Now the big bang hypotheses breaks the laws it proposes to explain.

@@faithtruth8036 "The Big Bang hypothesis breaks the laws it proposes to explain" …. there is so much wrong with your statement and it would take a lot of time and space explaining this to a non-scientist. I can only say that you need to have some understanding of science to critique science. Let me ask you a sincere question: Coming back to Francis Collins, what do you question after listening to his talk (I assume you did listen)? Are you questioning the way he practices science, or do you question his belief in God? As a scientist and philosopher of science I can assure you that his science is impeccable. It is recognised by every biologist, or let's say 99.9% of all biologists, believers and non-believers. So I assume that you criticise his belief in God, or his approach to Christianity. Please clarify to me what you don't like, or don't accept. I am genuinely interested.

@@hansweichselbaum2534 I never mentioned Frances Collins. Light speed is broken in the big bang, the law of cause and effect is broken, no adequate, despite some attempts to do so, has been offered to explain why the anti- matter and matter did not destroy each other at the start, why is all the matter not distributed evenly, instead we find Galaxies, why do some galaxies move in the opposite direction to others. I see you make the logical fallacy of appealing to authority but your 99.9% is probably incorrect I must conclude given all the Biologist I have heard denying the believe the Darwinian hypotheses. As evolution is not it's self a salvation issue I can't even guess on whether some one I never met is a true believer I hope he is.

@@faithtruth8036 "I never mentioned Frances Collins". Well, we are commenting here on a talk given by Francis Collins, so it makes sense to refer to his speech. You haven't heard of biologists accepting evolution? Probably not surprising if you get all your information from CIM (as I assume from the link you provided 3 months ago). By biologists I mean people who publish their work in peer-reviewed scientific journals. I don't know why you insist on discussing the Big Bang theory, which by the way has been proposed by Georges Lemaitre, a Christian. I can't see what the movement of individual galaxies has got to do with the Big Bang!? If you want to defend the view that the universe is 6,000 years old we can lower the level of this discussion and concentrate perhaps on a topic in geology, any topic, or ice cores going back hundreds of thousands of years, or the nearest galaxy being 2.5 million light years away. No need to puzzle about anti-matter.

@@chi-yangcheng8868 what an idiotic comment. you have fallen victim to the most absurd conspiracy theories.

Absolutely!! You had a great Dad. Those that put off the notion God created, I show them... Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We KNOW these laws. We have NO doubts about them. We also KNOW that the laws of nature can't come about without a Lawgiver, God. So if you want to pretend to be smart, please give me the laugh by giving your science how creation really happened by natural means. Also, throw in how we got the laws of nature, naturally.

If you can prove that all of it, time, history, and evolving species, which is a constant, is NOT part of God's greater plan we are yet to understand, I may listen. Science and faith can, in my opinion live alongside each other. Hence why we were given the ability of critical thinking, and to question things.

Although I believe certain parts of the bible were changed by cults to make Jesus's story a child sacrifice and one of reincarnation, instead of a God being coming down and telling us that we live after death in a place full of life and love. Why they made a God who fought child sacrifice into one that sacrificed his own child, I think I know. It was two fold, one, it made God a hypocrite, two, it enabled the sun cult to equate the phoenix sun to the God son, who goes into great darkness for three months or three days, then comes back to full power. Maybe the Q like being, (Star Trek person of great power) did come down fully grown but did let himself get crucified to show that death was not the final destination. Idk. But the cults did place Jesus's birthday the days after the sun starts getting brighter again, the sun's rebirth at winter solstice. Maybe the cult did this so that they could convince people that their false religion was the founding of Christianity, which I don't believe it was. You would think there were no cults in power back then that could pull off such a thing, but the cult of Mithras was very much powerful and very much like the freemasons of today who are helping people turn the USA and Australia into communist prison countries.

Hi, Chris. I suppose the first question to ask you in reply is whether your question is sincere or rhetorical. The answer would depend on your reply to that question. You see, if your question is rhetorical, then you suppose yourself to have understood the underlying reality, and are unwilling to consider things which might revise your understanding. This might be analogous to Dr. Collins before he became willing to explore the questions related to ultimate meaning. On the other hand, if your question is sincere, then you suppose yourself not necessarily to be in possession of all the relevant data. This might be analogous to Dr. Collins while he was pursuing the questions which eventually culminated in his act of faith. On the assumption that your question is sincere, I could give the answer that many, including Augustine, gave. Exactly how or with what duration God formed man out of the same dust of the earth from which he also formed the rest of the animal kingdom, the Bible does not say. It is therefore legitimate to suppose that God formed man from the dust of the earth, rather than from nothing, by forming the earth with such properties that it could give rise to man. What the Bible does say is that man is unique and distinct from the other creatures that God formed from the dust of the earth precisely in that God breathed His own Spirit into man, making man's life qualitatively different from the other creatures that God formed from the dust of the earth. I hope that helps. God bless you.

@Gregory Barrett hi Gregory my question was not rhetorical but i thank you for a sincere answer though i believe it to be incorrect. thankfully these issues are not Salvation show-stoppers for either of us but the responses may influence others either way so it is important to keep the dialogue, as you did, equitable and objective according to scripture God created man in a day, on the sixth day, to be precise. on the other hand our scientific analysis seems to point to earth having taken 4.5 billion years to form. This should provide plenty of time for chance to bring the correct molecules together to form the proteins needed for life and from there make the necessary amino acids, etc. scripture doesn't allude to any of this. Exodus 20:11 categorically says that Abba made heaven and earth in 6 days. He named the seventh day a rest day. hmmmm-we want the six days to mean four billion years or so but let the seventh day be a Saturday? i prefer to believe the bible, especially now that so much evidence is proving its accuracy in so many other (astounding) ways. lastly i quote Paul in Romans 3:4- "Let God be true "and *every* man a liar." hmmmm, don't believe ANYTHING any man tells you if it contradicts or is not supported by God's Word. blessings Gregory, in the Name of Yeshua ha'Mashiach, our Beloved Saviour.

@@chrisneeds6125 Hi, Chris. Thank you for your reply. Truly it is wonderful to dwell on the riches of God' grace for us as we consider Sacred Scripture, so I thank you also for recalling those wonderful verses. This is going to be a fairly long comment, as I make my way through your reply. I start by laying a bit of groundwork. We learn from metaphysics that everything can be considered from at least four perspectives. The first is material; what it's made of. The second is formal; what about it determines what it is. The third is efficient; by what process it came to be what it is. The fourth is final; the end or purpose or objective for which the other three were invoked. The world [cosmos, universe, visible creation] was made for man, so that he could thank God for the wonder of his own being, for the wonder of creation which also intimates the glory of God, and so be led to appreciate more fully the God who is author of all good. My perspective diverges from yours in several important ways. We know in several ways that Genesis 1-2 not just is not but cannot be intended to be understood as a consecutive sequence of six 24-hour periods. To indicate only a few of the several ways: -We now know with astonishing detail and precision that what establishes the 24 hour cycle that we call a day is a complex interaction involving the rotation of the earth on its axis, the angle of inclination of the axis of the earth to the plane of its orbit about the Sun, the orbit of the earth about the Sun, the orbit of the Moon about the earth, the revolution of the Solar System in the Milky Way Galaxy, and the progression of the Galaxy through space. Without all of those being in place and operative, we don't have an evening and a morning, a [nother] day. Yet three days pass, yielding light, condensed water, and soil, before God makes stars, the Sun, the Moon, days, months, and years. -Genesis 1:1-2:4 relate in poem form a liturgical process in which God sevens Himself, covenants Himself, to His creation. There is much to ponder here, and dwell on, but this is neither a diary segment nor a newspaper report. -Genesis 2:5-4:26 tells the story of the beginning of the covenant people. This includes the story of origins in 2:5-2:25. In this story we encounter something reminiscent of a barren wasteland, then man, then plants, then animals, then woman. -These have very different structures and purposes from the liturgical glory immediately preceding. Whether you read Genesis 1-4 as a single simple chronological report or as two distinct creation narratives, you are hard put to find a coherent understanding which receives the details as historically precise. On the other hand, if you receive them as very different approaches to putting an exclamation point on the sole transcendent self-existent being creating the universe in order to provide for man entering in love as fully as possible into His own boundless life of goodness, truth, and beauty, then questions of historical chronology become insignificant, irrelevant, distracting, and an indication of a deficient understanding of the author's purpose. Returning to your comments, I wouldn't expect God to allude to amino acids, for at least two reasons. In the first place, I wouldn't expect God to allude to amino acids in the same way that I wouldn't expect an elementary school second grade teacher to allude either to second-order multivariate differential equations or to amino acids: it would mean nothing to the children and actually distract from the lesson. In the second place, Sacred Scripture is about our relationship with God, both here and hereafter. Whether one is intensely interested or completely indifferent to technical details about the visible creation, what is of the essence is the character of that relationship. That is where God keeps the focus. Exodus 20:11 is situated in the very core of God making a covenant with the people of Israel, of God sevening Himself. It is not only not surprising, it is to have been expected that He would refer back to his whole purpose in creating the universe: to seven Himself. Man correspondingly actively participates in sevening himself in the very structure of his organizing his ongoing pattern of life. Since it is God both who revealed Himself in His creation of the world as a reflection of His own nature and who revealed Himself in inspired Scripture, and God is truth, and truth is one, there can be no contradiction between what God has revealed in creation and what God has revealed in Sacred Scripture. Therefore it is necessary to attend with care in studying all that God has done, in order to understand rightly what it is that God has revealed. If there is an apparent difficulty in reconciling what seem to be the conclusions of the various disciplines, then there is a set of strategies for confronting the difficulty. In the first place, I am to call my own understanding into doubt: either I have not rightly understood what the findings of science are, or I have not rightly understood what the findings of theological studies are, or I have not rightly understood how they relate to each other. In most cases of such (rare) apparent difficulty, this is enough to clear up the difficulty. If I'm able to get past the question of my misunderstanding the results in each field and of their relationship, then I carry it back one layer: those who have developed the conclusions giving rise to the apparent difficulty have not rightly understood one or other or both matters, or have not rightly understood their relationship. Finally, if I'm able to get past those questions, then I simply wait patiently for those developments which will resolve the difficulty and which God has reserved for a future age to clarify. I appreciate the perspective you're expressing in discussing Romans 3:4. The heart is perverse, and desperately deceitful, so it is appropriate to exercise care and caution. The first target of this distrust is of course always the self, who can be led astray by specious arguments even of its own devising without even realizing it, and is the only heart that can actually tempt the self, but to a lesser extent it is appropriate similarly to exercise care in dealing with others. With specific reference to Romans 3:1-8, however, I would say that Paul is arguing for courage and trust. The structure of the sentence in verse 4 is in the subjunctive, and is saying that, no matter what, we can have confidence in God who is always true and faithful, even if there be some (cf. v. 3) who in themselves or at significant moments are untrustworthy, since God will use even that to advance His glory and our good and the good of all who receive it. Thus in the midst of our fears and actual injuries we can step forward in doing good with confidence both that God will supply our shortfall and that He will care for us as we follow Him. In such confidence theologians and biblical scholars developed profound insights into special revelation, and found ways to communicate such insights. In such confidence scientists discovered and developed the wonders that human minds have wrought, some of which have provided motives of credibility (what some people by analogy and exaggeration call proofs--not exaggeration in your case, Chris; you refer to correspondence of particular details) of the gospel. God bless you, Chris.

Gregory Barrett The Holy Spirit is with you brother. God bless you.

@@gregorybarrett4998 Hi Gregory RU-vid failed to advise me that you had responded. The one thing fundamentalists have going for them, is the simplicity of their understanding. When we start to over analyse things we tend to move away from the perfect essence of the Word into one or more of the various forms of error that are in the world, and indeed have been, ever since the fall. I trust that you are well and that you and your house are Saved; Chris

Keep waiting buddy!

Jill Vander Plaats I hate to let you down but Einstein did not believe in a Creator. He only believed in the god of Spinoza, I will let you research what that means. Now Isaac Newton, and others, did and do.

Humanity has been duped by these ancient superstitious fables. We've all been duped. And the worse part about it is that those of us who have been duped to a point of no return actually going around duping others in the name of evangelism and religious preaching, etc. Everyone has their own personal "apologies" for these outrageously absurd myths, and none of those apologies hold any rational water whatsoever. It's truly unbelievable how we, as humans, have been so totally gullible to these outrageously silly myths. And some people take them extremely seriously and somber, but in fact, these myths are as utterly silly as they can be. Christianity tries to remove itself from the absurdities of the Old Testament and try to create a new religion based upon a supposedly "loving" God in Jesus. But that really doesn't work. All Christianity ends up doing is using Jesus as fodder to support a God who hates unbelievers again In fact, the story of Jesus is based upon the standard demigod superstition which was actually quite old hat by the time the Jesus fables were created. Jesus is a demigod superstition no matter how much Christian want to deny it. None of these fables have any merit at all. Yet people, for some strange reason, feel such a desperate need to support these religions to their death. This probably stems in-part from an underlying subconscious belief that if they stand up for this God they will indeed appease the God and be rewarded. And they may even have a feeling that if they fail to support these myths they will somehow be turning their backs on God and becoming a sinful "unbeliever". These myths are without a doubt one of the most powerful brainwashing schemes ever created by mankind to be sure.

@@dr.rickmarshall6697 Rick...May the God of the universe expose Himself to you in such a way that you too will KNOW there is God. Bless you.

@@Suzi195 May rational thinking become obvious to you , So you can leave behind all your ancient superstitions that have plague mankind for eons , May the natural forces of the universe become apparent to you sometime in your lifetime . I don’t say this as a prayer to a God, but as a plea to your rational ability to think.

@@dr.rickmarshall6697 Amen!

Oh? How come he supposedly flooded the planet because people didn't obey & didn't he know that was going to happen? Why did he have to send Jesus to "save" us from our "sins" . Clearly things didn't go the way he originally planned them to ie mistakes! How much else are you wrong about?

Depends on your opinion on what a mistake is. Have you ever seen the movie snakes on a plane? There is no god.

@@johncollins211 You can dismiss the things Jesus did as made up stories even the resurrection, but think it through, if even this one thing he did is true you must come to the conclusion This man was God on earth in Human form and then follow his instructions in the gospel about how to be saved from his Judgement , when you must give an account of your life before him as God in Heaven where he is now. But soon to return as God not as a man. Revelation 1:7 7Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him- even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen. 8“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come-the Almighty.… Yeah you can just ignore these scriptures as fantasy made up stories or you can be wise and Believe they are the words from Gods mouth to you right now. Believe in God !or Believe in nothing ( Atheism) your choice

I agree with you! The only way "evolution" seems plausible is when it didn't involve millions of years of natural selection to make new organisms. Whatever forms of life God initially created (and I am inclined to think they were indeed "kinds"), He created them in such a way that they already had all necessary genetic information to adapt to their environment. All this "junk" DNA is probably a huge epigenetic system, that allows an organism to aquire new features quickly, within one-three generations. When environment dictates what genes are turned on. God commanded living things to fill the Earth. That's how all the species appeared, with specific features for their niche. And it didn't take millions of years. For example, it was discovered that chickens have a gene for teeth! Evolutionists think that it proves it's left from dinosaurs! But I think it is actually one of those things that allowed many animals to quickly become carnivores after the Fall.

Your ignoring all the scientific laws and the laws of logic and reasoning. Also you don't get something from nothing, science. You don't get life from none life. You don't get both time always existed and in the beginning, logic and reasoning. Atheist mocked the Bible on this issue alone for a long time. At least until Einstein and the hubble telescope revealed that the universe has a beginning. That should of been end of discussion, but no atheist refused to admit they could possibly be wrong. Proof atheist are not logical and refused reasoning. It's an emotional decision......logic and reasoning have nothing to do with it.

You're mixing up creationist ideas with science. No evolutionary scientist claims everything came together all at once to produce a fully formed organism. Every thing you named, guts, brains, bones, etc., have evolutionary predecessors. Evolution can only build on what already exists in a species. Yet sometimes epigenetics, or a single switching gene, such as hox genes, can cause large structures for which coding already exists to appear seemingly out of nowhere. But overall, a steady development of features can be traced in both fossils and genomes of every significant structure of plants and animals. Everything started out much simpler, even as far back as single celled life with only one ATP transport mechanism and no mitochondria.

@Mel Dummar If you want to find an atheist just go to any RU-vid video that supports God. I find that funny.. Oh…and one that supports the Christian God particularly for some reason.

"Complexity" is NOT indicative of design, is simplicity that designers aspire to achieve, we attribute "design" by contrasting it with nature. Frequently, believers in irreducible complexity cite the eye as an example of something too complex to have evolved. They frequently introduce the argument with a question of the type, "What use is half an eye?". However if the question is recast as "Given a choice, would you prefer to be completely blind or have 50% of your present vision?", then it becomes clear that the question is badly formed, especially when keeping in mind that many species manage to survive with significantly less-advanced eyes. Examples include the polychaete worms, which can distinguish between light and dark; the simple eye-cup of the flatworms, for finding the direction of a light source; jellyfish and scallops, with simple eyes for detecting movement;the famous compound eyes of the insects, which can make out simple shapes, and ultimately the sophisticated single-lens eyes of the molluscs and vertebrates. (1) Light-sensitive proteins could evolve through a random mutation and re-use pre-existing cascade structures to signal other proteins and activate the cell. Natural selection would prefer organisms which do something useful with this mutation, such as improving the feeding pattern (i.e., during the day food may be more abundant, so conserving energy during the night would be advantageous). (2) If one cell is evolutionary advantageous, then several cells may be more advantageous due to redundancy and due to the higher probability of successfully perceiving light. (3) A flat patch of cells can be slightly improved by the curving of some of the outer cells creating a small depressed area, which allows some amount of sense of where the light is coming from. (4) Said depression can depress further until there is only a small slit of light coming in. This allows a more complex "picture" to be seen, rather than the more binary "light yes/no" of the flat patch and the "light on this side yes/no" of the depressed patch. (5) Said depression may be covered by a membrane that would magnify the light coming in, which has obvious benefits. (6) Muscles to move the "half eye" around would allow greater field of vision and more accurate determination of the source of the light. (7) Detecting basic colors is more useful than detecting no colors (e.g., "is that the toxic blue flower or the edible yellow flower?"). (8) The ability to control the size of the slit (even a little bit) and its magnifier is useful to refocus and get just a little better vision at certain distances. And with that, the hypothetical eye would be reasonably similar to the eye possessed by most mammals today.
