Eye NOT Wired Backward

I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works; 

Psalm 139:14

"One of the tired old canards on which antitheists have dined out for years is the claim that our eye is stupidly wired back to front, something no decent designer would use.

However, ophthalmologists have denounced Dawkins’ claim repeatedly. E.g. George Marshall, the Sir Jules Thorn Lecturer in Ophthalmic Science, stated in reply to Dawkins:

“The idea that the eye is wired backward comes from a lack of knowledge of eye function and anatomy.”

Dr, Marshall explains that the nerves could not go behind the eye,
--because that space is reserved for the choroid,
--which provides the rich blood supply needed for the very metabolically-active retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
--This is necessary to regenerate the photoreceptors,
--and to absorb excess heat.

*So it is necessary for the nerves to go in front instead.

Not only is the inverted wiring of our eyes a good design, necessary for proper functioning, it is also coordinated with an ingenious fibre-optic plate, so the vertebrate eye has the advantage of a rich blood supply behind the receptors without the disadvantage of nerves blocking out light. Such fine coordination of parts makes sense with a Master Coordinator, while it’s a puzzle for evolutionists."
