Still Waters Posted June 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2013 The newest addition to human anatomy is just 15 microns thick, but its discovery will make eye surgery safer and simpler. Harminder Dua, a professor at the University of Nottingham, recently found a new layer in the human cornea, and he's calling it (can you guess?) Dua's layer. http://www.popsci.co...vered-human-eye 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrooma Posted June 14, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 14, 2013 obviously the creationists knew it was there all along..... :-) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperdyer Posted June 14, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Play nice boys. This is interesting. I've had laser treatment on the layer right before so I don't know if my right eye still has the Dua layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted June 14, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I'm no scientist, but I must admit I find it rather surprising that the ultra-thin membrane was not discovered earlier. I thought that body parts were sliced, diced and examined closely years ago. Guess I was wrong. Glad they found it for the reasons given in the article. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundew Posted June 14, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Play nice boys. This is interesting. I've had laser treatment on the layer right before so I don't know if my right eye still has the Dua layer. If by playing nice you refer to the "God vs. evolution debate," sadly that's not likely to happen. Every time there is a scientific discovery, or an article on religion, the various camps mount an attack and/or a defense. To me this extra layer in the eye only suggests a few things: 1. that, despite dealing with a throughly studied and well know subject (i.e. human anatomy), scientists don't know everything and 2. as better diagnostic tools are created they may learn more. As for the never ending debate, I like Dr. Chuck Missler's videos on YouTube which deal with both science and religion. His explanations are both interesting and also show there is much to learn in both disciplines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Chubb Posted June 14, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 14, 2013 A previously undiscovered body part measuring a mere 15 microns has been identified by scientists. I wondered where that got to, well it was a very cold day... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava_Lady Posted June 14, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Who would have known.... something we don't know about the human body.... great ... this kid might need to get the eyes redone in the future ... ~ Cute!! Say thanks for those who donate their body for this discovery I'm on the donor list... they can have whatever I don't need when I die... which will be everything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regeneratia Posted June 17, 2013 #17 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Maybe it is a part of human evolution. I know that my eye Dr. tells me I have more rods and cones than most people, while I have recently been seeing a lot more fluorescence in flowers, ocean waves, clouds and so on. Colors come right at me sometimes. So what if this is a new part of our biological system? Edited June 17, 2013 by regeneratia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regeneratia Posted June 18, 2013 #20 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Except that we don't know if it's a good or bad evolution. I prefer the term mutation rather evolution. I have stopped placing judgements on things, ... mostly. I don't think "is this good or bad?" when I am assessing something, when I am considering something. IMHO, everything has a little bit of good AND bad in it. It is the amount of good or bad that seems to be most addressed. Shakespeare says that there is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so. Dr. Robert Anthony says that there is nothing good or bad, just different sets of consequences. Either/or thinking is just not something I do. But if I am seeing more of the spectrum of colors, I adore it. Edited June 18, 2013 by regeneratia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
