On the evolution of eyes

Biologists at the University of California have found a protein present in the eyes of fruit flies that when absent (as it is in bees and beetles) it radically changes the eye, from an open system to closed one.

This lends yet more evidence to evolution, as one of creation's strawmen is that the eye is so complex that it couldn't evolve, but here we have this single protein that changes an eye completely.
