Evolution explains varietal subpopulation development well.

Species subpopulations are more difficult, and often involve peculiar definitions of a species. i.e. Ring species.

The development of new structures by evolution postulates a gradual, linear change where every step is beneficial to adaptation and reproduction. There is a minimal level of complexity needed before an eye can have any useful evolutionary function.

The most simple eye that I know of in abundance in the world would be some species of coral which have the ability to detect light and dark. When a shadow passes over then they retract into their shell so the creature will not be able to eat them. That would be a simple nerve cell that responds to light. Obviously more advanced eyes can do more. Each level of advancement can be shown in nature, snail eyes are better than the light/dark but not by that much up to our eyes and beyond to the eye of an eagle.

Look up ring species. They support your argument, and the fact that you are unaware of them demonstrates a shallow fund of knowledge.

Eagles did not evolve from snails. You are making wildly impossible generalizations. Evolution is nothing more than a dogma to you.

Obviously God created the evolutionary process, but it is not a comprehensive answer for the wide variety of life and non-life.

The fact that the world is so perfectly made with just the right conditions to let you survive is the only proof you need.
